These Regulations increase the fee payable for an application to a local planning authority for a determination as to whether prior approval will be required for proposed telecommunications development under Part 24 of Schedule 2 to the General Permitted Development Order 1995.

The fee is increased from £35 to £190 in order to reflect the increased notification and consultation requirements imposed on local planning authorities in relation to such developments by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amendment) (Wales) Order 2002, S.I. 2002/1878 (W.187).
