There is a difference between a once-off development, a small extension or house and a major development. Local authorities do not get the true cost of examining a large development planning permission application. I am trying to differentiate between an extension to a house and a shopping centre or major housing estate development to get some type of reimbursement for the time and cost of examination. The 15% on larger developments appears to be low.
