Should we expect any further fees to be paid post examination and if so, how are these calculated?

Is the fee below an on account payment to be increased or indeed credited, in the event that the examination is longer or shorter than currently estimated?

Advice given

The Infrastructure Planning (Fees) Regulations 2010 as amended by The Infrastructure Planning (Fees) (Amendments) Regulations 2013 provide for one further payment in respect of this examination.

The invoice you have just received was basically calculated on half the the likely length of examination. Once the examination has closed you will be invoiced for the remaining amount, calculated on the actual end date of the examination. Therefore if the examination is longer or shorter than anticipated, it is the final payment that will be adjusted accordingly rather than any increase or credit on the payment requested.
