Planning application fees

Our planning fees charter and other, associated fees and charges as from 12 December 2024.

The Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 set out the level of fees required as part of the submission of planning applications and other associated applications. They also enable the planning authority to charge discretionary fees for some services, to reduce or waive fees in certain cases and to apply a surcharge for retrospective applications. The Regulations require us, as planning authority, to set out what we will charge for these services, when and by how much fees will be reduced and clarify the level of surcharges applied.

Scottish Ministers have advised of the intention to increase statutory fees in line with inflation each year, in the summer. We will apply increases when the annual revisions come into force. As always, fees will be calculated at the point of validation, not submission. 

Payments can be made online via ePlanning when you submit your application, by using our online payment system or by credit/debit card (Customer Service Centre, telephone 01738 475000). Please ensure to quote the ePlanning or Perth and Kinross Council application reference when making payment. Please note we no longer accept cheques.
