Refunds
In the event that the case officer recommendation for a formal application does not follow the advice given at pre-application stage and there has been no change in circumstances (ie a change in planning policy or the views of an external consultee being received which necessitate a different recommendation) in the interim period or the pre-application advice is not more than 2 years old, all or part of the pre-application fee will be refunded.
The level/proportion of refund given will depend on the circumstances of each case and be at the discretion of the Head of Environment and Development (or in their absence, the Development Services Manager).
In the event that the case officer recommendation for a formal application follows the advice given at pre-application stage, but Development Control Committee overturns it, no refunds shall be given.
