Planning application fees

How much it will cost

Fees are set nationally and you can find out how much you need to pay on the Planning Portal's fee calculator. If you are still unsure about how much you need to pay, then please email planning@dacorum.gov.uk.

Administration fees

Administration charges can be applied for the following reasons:

1. If an application is deemed invalid and discarded
2. If a satisfactory response to an invalid letter is not received within 28 days from the date on the invalid letter.
3. If there's a request to transfer a statutory application fee from a previously closed invalid application to a new one
4. If an invalid application is withdrawn after notification that it is invalid (this charge will be deducted from any refund).

The charge is as follows:

• £200 for major applications
• £120 for minor applications
• £60 for all other applications
