Submitting a Notice of Review
Fees and Payment Options
A fee is required for most types of review by the Planning Review Body. The fee will depend on the type and scale of the proposed development. Certain types of development benefit from a fee reduction or waiver. New notices of review will not be considered ‘valid’ until any fee required has been received in full. Fees will be checked at the point of validation. You will be informed of any outstanding balance, and this must be paid before the time limit for your review expires.
The scale of fees for reviews is set by the Scottish Government through The Town and Country Planning (Fees for Local Reviews) (Scotland) Regulations 2025. The fee scale provides information on the fees payable.
Pay online, with your application
ePlanning.scot lets you pay your application fee while submitting your review. This is the fastest way to pay for your application, and as long as you have provided all of the other information required, it helps us to validate your application quicker.
Pay separately from your application
We encourage all customers to pay online at ePlanning.scot at the time of submission. You can pay separately from your application to us using the payment options below, but be aware that we will not be able to make your application valid until the payment has been reconciled to your application. On the 'Payment tab', under the 'Payment Category', choose ‘Notice of Review’. If you don't have a reference number, enter 'NoR' into the 'Application reference number' field to help us match your payment to your application.
Proof of your payment must be sent to:
- e-mail: review.body@highland.gov.uk
- by post to eProcessing Centre, The Highland Council. Headquarters, Glenurquhart Road, Inverness, IV3 5NX
Failure to do this could result in a delay in validating your application.
