Planning fees are set nationally and the cost of making an application varies depending upon the proposal. For more information, please view our planning fees.
The easiest way to find the fee for an application is to use a fee calculator.
If you are submitting your application via the Planning Portal any application fee must be paid to the Portal. Applications are no longer released to us until the Portal receives payment of any applicable fee, which they subsequently transfer to us.
Fee payment (if applying in person or through the post)
If you choose to submit your application in person or in the post, you can pay in the following ways:
- by debit card over the telephone
- by credit card over the telephone
- by BACS (Bankers' Automated Clearing Services) payment, please contact us for the necessary details. Please note when paying by BACS it is very important that you clearly reference your payment for Planning Services, failure to do so may result in delay or inability to connect your payment to your application
- by cheque made payable to North Yorkshire Council. Please write the application address on the back of your cheque or, if you have a reference number please write that on the back of the cheque
You can find contact details on our contact us page.
