VAT and planning services

Whilst the submission of applications for planning permission and advertisement consent for example, are exempt from VAT, some additional services which the planning team offer do include VAT in the price.

If you are a business or professional organisation and require a VAT receipt for the fees paid when using these services, the most straightforward way to obtain this is to make your payment on our website.

Payment of fees for Pre-application Advice, Design Optimisation and Digital Twin Model can all be made through the online payment service. You can generate a VAT receipt when you make your payment.

If you intend to pay by Bacs and require an invoice detailing the VAT, please email developmentcontrol@derby.gov.uk before sending any payments. We can raise an invoice, but we do have to set your company up on our finance system first. This can take some time so it may have an impact upon you securing our services.
