Planning Application Fees
The decision to charge for planning applications has been made by Parliament and therefore the scale of fees is the same throughout England.
If you apply for Planning Permission online via the Planning Portal you can pay online.
If you are applying on paper, the fee should be paid at the time the Application is submitted, by post to our Birkenhead offices, or in person, Monday to Friday, between 0900 and 1645 hours. Payment by cheque, payable to Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, is preferred. Separate payment should be made for Applications for Planning Permission and Applications made under the Building Regulations.
There is no VAT on Planning Application Fees.
If you are unsure of the fee applicable, please view the full details of fees or consult us on 0151 606 2297 before submitting your application.
If you underpay it will not be possible to deal with your application until the correct fee has been paid.
