EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


Regulation 2 provides for an increase in the fee payable for an application to the local planning authority for a determination as to whether prior approval will be required for proposed telecommunication development under Part 24 of the General Permitted Development Order 1995.

The fee is increased from £35 to £190, an increase of approximately 540%. This increase reflects the notification and consultation requirements imposed on local planning authorities in relation to such development by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (England) Order 2001, SI 2001/[2718].

A Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in relation to these Regulations.
