Alternatively, you can access our Schedule of fees or contact the Senior Planning Technician who will calculate the fee for you.

Minerals and landfill:
Regulations have come into force requiring the payment of fees to planning authorities for the monitoring of mineral and landfill waste sites that are covered by extant planning permissions. The fees set by the Government are £288 for each site visit to an active site or £96 for a visit to an inactive site.
