Why is there a service charge for submitting some planning applications?

There is a service charge applied to online planning applications that attract a planning fee of over £100, applications with a planning fee below this threshold do not incur the service charge. The service charge is £70.83 +VAT.

The service charge helps cover the costs of delivering a national standard application and payment service, fund future improvements and maintain the Planning Portal’s suite of resources. Having one universal payment mechanism vastly improves the process of submitting and receiving planning applications for our users, and enables us to invest in developing our service, including: 

• The range of free-to-use  planning guidance
• A dedicated customer support team available 9am – 5pm to support customers
• And, of course, the planning application service itself, including e-enabling further application types and improvements to local validation, amongst many others.

Pam mae taliadau gwasanaeth ar gyfer cyflwyno ceisiadau cynllunio?

Codir tâl gwasanaeth ar geisiadau cynllunio ar-lein sy’n denu ffi cynllunio o dros £100, nid yw ceisiadau â ffi cynllunio o dan y trothwy hwn yn golygu’r tâl gwasanaeth.Y tâl gwasanaeth yw £70.83 +TAW.

Mae’r tâl gwasanaeth yn helpu i dalu costau darparu gwasanaeth ymgeisio a thalu safonol cenedlaethol, ariannu gwelliannau yn y dyfodol a chynnal cyfres adnoddau’r Porth Cynllunio. Mae cael un mecanwaith talu cyffredinol yn gwella’n sylweddol y broses o gyflwyno a derbyn ceisiadau cynllunio ar gyfer ein defnyddwyr, ac yn ein galluogi i fuddsoddi mewn datblygu ein gwasanaeth, gan gynnwys:

• Ystod o ganllawiau cynllunio rhad ac am ddim i’w defnyddio
• Tîm cymorth cwsmeriaid pwrpasol ar gael 9am – 5pm i gefnogi cwsmeriaid
• Ac, wrth gwrs, y gwasanaeth ceisiadau cynllunio ei hun, gan gynnwys e-alluogi mathau pellach o geisiadau a gwelliannau i ddilysu lleol, ymhlith llawer o rai eraill.
