    Hi Polly,
    You could always just ask the planning service if they require the sort of thing he mentioned. We got planning permission recently and no one asked for anything like that. I also know you can get a meeting with a planner to review your plans without there being any charge. If it helps though, we were on the 'fast track' and it took us about 3 months. I would hate to see what the 'slow track' is.
    Cheers,
    BatCat

    Hi Guys

    The £100 you mention here appears to be the "SAP Calc" energy calculation, which is a Building Control requirement, not a planning one. I do think it would have been better for the designer to clarify this charge at the outset as I try to do with my clients. Professionalism issues aside, £100 for a SAP calc is actually quite competitive.

    Maybe I am too late to post this, but Action Cancer are running a scheme called "Improve Dont Move". you get an hour consulation with an architect in your home for £40 donation to action cancer. seems like a good deal to me for some cheap advice. If you google improvedontmove as one word i think you can get to the website
