These Regulations amend the Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) (Scotland) Regulations 2004. They introduce a new category of fee for applications for planning permission for construction of hydro-electric generating stations and connected operations of £401 per 0.1 hectare, subject to a maximum of £20,055.

(The new fee will be chargeable instead of the plant and machinery fee of £401 per 0.1 hectare below 5 hectares and £200 for each remaining 0.1 hectare, subject to an overall maximum of £125,000.)
