Planning fees set to increase

A MOVE to raise fees for planning permission has been agreed by the Scottish Government.

A consultation on the proposal for the cost of planning permission to meet the cost of providing the service received 124 responses, 96 of which were from group respondents and the remaining 28 from individuals.
