Fees and Charges:

Planning application fees do not cover the cost of the pre-application advice. This service has a separate fee, and pre-application advice fees depend on the category of development.

Within the table below are details of the pre-application fees and charges. Please note that these fees purely relate to those charged by Tendring District Council, and do not relate to external consultees unless otherwise stated.

For TDC and External Consultee Fees, should your development fall outside of any areas listed below a bespoke fee may be payable.  Please contact Technical Team (dcadmin.planning@tendringdc.gov.uk) to confirm fee payable.
