(b) the Minister to grant planning permission in detail in respect of matters that have been reserved for approval following a grant of permission in outline only, subject to paragraph (6A), the fee is 50% of the fee that is calculated in accordance with the table in Schedule 1.[6]

(6A) Where, before 1st January 2017, the Minister has granted planning permission in outline only, the fee for an application under paragraph (6)(b) is 75% of the fee that is calculated in accordance with the table in Schedule 1.[7]

(7) Where an application is made for planning permission for development solely for the purpose of enabling or facilitating access to, or use of, the site by disabled persons, no fee shall be payable.[8]

2A Fee to accompany an application for the amendment of a condition of planning permission[9]
