Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2008

I did not say 3 per cent. I said 0.3 per cent, so the figure is less than one-third of a per cent. I take the point made by the noble Lord, but in reviewing the fees structure and the overall inflation in development costs, we do not think that we have added significantly to the burden on development. It would not be our wish to do so. However, we want to encourage adequate, full-cost recovery. As I have explained, it is likely that these increases will net nationally some £65 million to bridge that gap which the research by Arup identified. On Question, Motion agreed to.
