EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend regulation 13 of the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) (Scotland) Regulations 2004. Regulation 13 makes provision for the payment of a fee to planning authorities in respect of applications made to the planning authority for determination as to whether the prior approval of the authority will be required. The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Order 2014 introduced requirements for such applications in respect of certain development specified in Class 18 and Class 22 in Schedule 1 to the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Scotland) Order 1992. The effect of these Regulations is that no fee is payable under regulation 13 for such new applications made by virtue of paragraph (4A) of Class 18 or paragraph (4) of Class 22.
