Price hike of 58% 'in line' with government costs
The substantial hike in the fee for planning appeals has been defended by the chair of the planning committee.
Ayre and Michael MHK Tim Baker is a political member of the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
He says the costs of appealing planning decisions, increasing by 58%, is in line with the costs of government.
And Mr Baker says it won't affect as many people as you might think:

Local authority says such incidents 'must stop'
Bus drivers to go on strike
Walkout expected to last 10 days
Taxi driver remanded in custody after admitting £11k cheque fraud against father
