7.—(1) A fee shall be paid when application for a service referred to in regulation 6 is made, and the applicant is informed of the amount thereof.

(3) If during the course of the work the Secretary of State estimates that the duration of the work is likely to be greater than the amount estimated under paragraph (1) above, the fee shall be recalculated by reference to that greater estimate, and the excess, if any, over the fee originally payable shall be paid by the applicant.
(4) If the duration of the work actually required in consequence of the application is greater or less than its estimated duration, the fee shall be recalculated by reference to the actual duration and the difference shall be paid by, or, as the case may be, refunded to, the applicant.
