Validation Criteria
Schedule of planning fees
Please note: Ribble Valley Borough Council considers holiday lets to be commercial development and to fall outside the definition of a 'dwellinghouse'. The Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications, Deemed Applications, Requests and Site Visits) (England) Regulations 2012 define a 'dwellinghouse' as a building which is to be used as a single private dwellinghouse and no other purpose. Therefore, where Ribble Valley Borough Council considers development to be for commercial holiday purposes the planning fee will be based on the floor area.
For fee purposes commercial static caravans, camping pods, lodges and other similar developments will be treated as 'buildings' if the proposed development remains in situ for more than 10 months per year. In these circumstances the fee charged will be based on the erection of a building.
When measuring floor space for fee calculation purposes gross floor space to be created by the development shall be ascertained by external measurement of the floor space, whether or not it is to be bounded (wholly or partly) by external walls.
