uin	52225
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>We consulted earlier this year on a proposal to increase national fees in line with inflation since the last fee increase in 2012 for those authorities that are performing well. We are currently considering the responses to the consultation and will publish our response in due course.</p><p>Delays in determining planning application can increase costs for developers, reduce developers’ confidence to invest in sites and provide greater uncertainty for communities. Local planning authorities have a responsibility to determine applications on time and it is not unreasonable that an applicant should be due a refund if an authority has failed to determine their application five weeks after the statutory time period has ended. As I previously set out, there are no plans to provide access to funding to cover the costs authorities incur by their own poor performance.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 14/11/2016 15:40:45 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
