Newark & Sherwood District Council

Planning Decision Notices:

• Copy of Decision Notice post 2003 - £10.00 (you can also access unsigned copies of these on our planning application website)
• Copy of Decision Notice prior 2003 - £25.00

A manual search is required to retrieve archived decision notices prior to 2003. Therefore an additional administration fee is charged in order to cover costs.

Enforcement notices: £10 each (also available online on our planning application website)

Tree Preservation orders: £10 per order

Section 106 agreements: £10 each (also available online on our planning application website)

Planning Appeals and other casework Appeals for England and Wales are dealt with by the planning inspectorate.  The online appeals service and all guidance relating to appeals is available on their website.

Photocopying and copies from microfiche:

We may make charges for disbursements such as photocopying and copies from microfiche, therefore please see below for a full breakdown of our costs.

A4 and A3 sheets:
We will charge 10 pence per A4 sheet (per side) and 20 pence per A3 sheet (per side), black and white and charges will only apply once the total amount is over £5.00.  This equates to 50 pages of A4, or 25 pages of A3 before charges apply. 

Where the requestor requires copies in colour we will charge 20 pence per A4 sheet (per side) and 40 pence per A3 sheet (per side) and charges will apply once the total amount is over £5.00.  In all cases, the requestor will be informed of a charge before an officer undertakes any photocopying and payment must be received before the information can be provided.

Large size documents:
Providing copies of plans that is above A3 in size, the following charges will be incurred:

A2: £1.00 per copy
A1: £2.00 per copy
A0:  £4.00 per copy

The above charges apply to black and white copies only and once the total amount is over £5.00.  The requestor will be informed of a charge before an officer undertakes any photocopying; payment must be received before the information can be provided to them.  We do not provide facilities for printing large size documents (A2, A1 and A0) in colour or from microfiche.

Additional calculations as to whether a fee applies:

If a large number of documents are requested or locating and/or extracting the information are likely to take over one hour, the Council will only provide the information by post.  The information will be sent by post within 20 working days of a request.  Post and packaging will be charged at cost.

The requestor will be informed of a charge before an officer undertakes any of the above and payment must be received before the information can be provided to them. 

Furthermore, various publications produced by the service may also incur costs above those mentioned above.  Details are provided below.

We will also work with you to look at other ways of providing the information so that the request falls below the appropriate limit (and can therefore be provided free of charge) and where possible, in the case of publications, many are published on our website for you to download.  This approach means that we can be transparent and consistent as possible in the way we handle requests for information and subsequent copying and how and when we charge.
