Where a request is made under regulation 7(2), or a notice is given under regulation 8(1), the prospective applicant must pay to the Welsh Ministers the fee determined in accordance with regulation 25, but where both a request is made and a notice is given in respect of the same application, only one such fee is payable.

The Welsh Ministers are not be obliged to carry out any action in response to the request or notice until the fee has been paid.
