Mr King called to ask which body was responsiable for discharing requirments contained within a Development Concent order, how long this normaly took, and whether there was a prescribed fee.

Advice given

We advised that the way in which requirements are to be discharged, or by whom, is a matter that would need to be considered when drafting them. The fees relating to the Planning Act 2008 regime are set out in the Infrastructure Planning (Fees) Regulations 2010, and do not include a fee for discharge of requirements.

Since no Order under the 2008 Act has yet been made, custom and practice in this area are still evolving. It is not possible to say how long it normaly takes to discharge requirements.
