3. In both planning fees and licensing fees above, please confirm if, you have confirmed planned introduction of increased or additional fees in either planning or licensing; or if either fees have recently increased the date of these increases. Recently being in 2026. Rushcliffe Borough Council have no existing planning fees to increase. Additionally, we have not investigated or begun a process to apply increased or additional fees. Rushcliffe Borough Council do not operate selective licensing in relation to privately rented premises, so there is no fee structure for this activity. There is no proposal for this to be introduced.
