The fees for Planning Applications are fixed by central government and these are dependant on whether your proposals could be considered as 'Permitted Development' or whether they require full Planning Approval.
If you are in doubt as to whether your proposed development would require Planning Approval, you may find the interactive guides on the following government planning website quite useful. They show which alterations can be classed as 'permitted development' www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission
