Part 10A, Section 204V: Appeals Schedule 22: Pavement Licences Applications: fees Effect
Subparagraph (2) has the effect of changing the fee cap from the previous £100 level, to the "relevant amount".
	Subparagraph (3) inserts subsection (1A) which has the effect of introducing the definition of "the relevant amount". This introduces two new fee caps under which the local authority can charge a fee for a pavement licence, £350 in the case of a renewal application and £500 in the case of any other application. This replaces the previous fee cap of £100. The fee cap is a maximum the local authority is able to charge, and local authorities should only charge to cover their costs. Local authorities are able to set a fee structure within the cap.
	New subsection (1B) has the effect of giving the Secretary of State a new power to substitute by regulations a different amount for those specified in the definition of "the relevant amount" which sets the fee caps. This is intended to allow the fees to keep pace with the costs for processing applications.
