Fees
My current fees are charged at a daily rate of £500 or £70 p/hour (if less than a day). Expenses such as milage to view a site or attend a meeting are also charged.
Before commencing work, a quote and schedule of work will be agreed with my client. I do not charge VAT.
For planning applications, where work has been commissioned from a specialist consultant (e.g. ecologist, archaeologist etc.), my client will be responsible for paying the specialist directly. Planning fees payable to the local authority are usually requested as part of a deposit before work commences.
Rough timescales to complete some common types of work are set out below:
Planning advice:
1 hour - 3 days
Submission of planning application, including preparation of Planning Statement:
3-4 days
Submission of appeal, including preparation of Appeal Statement:
5-7 days
