That is grand. In general, the fees that are charged for planning applications rarely, if ever, cover the workload that is involved for local authority planners. That is something that is going to have to be looked at and we should consider it in the future given we are talking about a reduction in fees. Am I correct in saying this will apply to everything, not just projects related to the national broadband plan? I am referring to overhead cabling.
