Paid direct
Your council's fee, at your council's figure.
These are statutory. They are set by regulation and you pay them directly to the Planning Portal or your authority at submission, so they never pass through Wren and there is nothing for us to mark up. Published in full rather than summarised, because a fee you cannot check is a fee you have to take on trust.

Every fee, not the convenient ones.
Uprated 3.8% on 1 April 2026, tracking September 2025 inflation. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland set their own, so where your site is devolved the appraisal returns a check-with-your-authority note rather than an England figure wearing a devolved badge.
