Full cost recovery on Planning Fees

An idea by - Tagged: - Discussion: Comment

The idea

At present Planning Fees only recompense Councils a proportion of the costs required in dealing with Planning & related applications. They should recover the total costs.

Why is it important?

It is unjust that Council tax payers and general tax payers should have to subsidise developers who benefit from the increase in land & buildings' values arising from planning permission.
