Can local authorities charge a fee for DCO related work?

Advice given

There is no mechanism in the Planning Act 2008 for any party to charge a fee, other than the Secretary of State. Developers of some NSIP projects have entered into Planning Performance Agreements to facilitate the input and engagement of local authorities and other statutory bodies in the DCO process, particulalry at the pre application stage.
