Welsh LPAs Fees Generated
Dear Welsh Government/Llywodraeth Cymru,
I understand that English councils, urban development corporations and national parks collected nearly £210 million in planning application fees in 2011/12, according to figures published by the planning minister.
Please advise what fees were generated by Welsh Local Planning Authorities in the same period?
Yours faithfully,
Michael W. Edwards FRICS, IRRV (Hons)

Dear Mr Edwards
Request for Information – ATISN 6858
I refer to your request which I received on 22 January 2013. You asked:
What fees were generated by Welsh Local Planning Authorities in the same
period [2011/12]?
I have not found any information that meets this description; the Welsh
Government does not collect information on local planning authority
planning fee income.
I believe that the Welsh Local Government Association may hold the
information which you are seeking. You can ask WLGA for the information
or I can transfer your request to it. Please inform me in writing if you
would like me to transfer your request. You can contact the WLGA at:
