Division affected: (All Division);
Notice of proposed decision first published: 13/03/2017
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
The letter from DCLG was not received until 21 February 2017 and the response must be sent by 13 March 2017, therefore it is not possible to comply with the usual procedures for decision making and the decision to accept the uplift in planning fees and associated conditions must be taken urgently and consequently the normal call-in period will not be observed.
