Regulation 3 makes provision as to fees for all applications, other than applications for the disposal of materials dredged from the seabed (which are dealt with in regulations 4 and 5). Regulation 6 provides for the annual revision of fees as at 1st April by reference to changes in Consumer Prices Index figures. Regulation 7 allows the Scottish Ministers to charge a reduced fee in respect of a resubmitted application.
