Rise of almost 58% from April 1
There's set to be a £101 increase in the cost of appealing a planning decision from 1st April.
The charge will rise from the current rate of £175 to £276 - a hike of almost 58%.
The amendment to the Town and Country Planning Act will be brought to Tynwald next week, but will not be debated by politicians as it's 'subject to no procedure'.
Included in the amendment are a raft of price alterations, many of which are roughly in line with inflation.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture says the changes are to "provide the resources necessary to support the operation of the department’s planning control procedures."
It's argued the fees "need to be increased" to fund the cost of providing a planning inspector to deal with appeals.
You can see the amendment on the Tynwald Order Paper, with the explanatory memorandum available to view here.
