RE: Examination in Public costs? - Public forum - Planning Advisory Service (PAS)

We're in the process of setting budgets for the 2023-24 financial year and one of the largest financial items we need to make provision for is a likely EiP for our Core Strategy/Local Plan review which (hopefully!) will take place next year.

We were wondering what sort of costs local planning authorities have been charged by PINS for recent examinations. Naturally every EiP will be different in terms of its complexity and length, but it would be helpful nevertheless to get a handle around what costs councils are incurring when their plans are examined so we can attempt to budget accordingly. For context, when our Core Strategy was examined back in 2013, we were charged £60k in total for an EiP that sat just for a single week but where the examination was 'open' for several months. With inflation, I expect costs will have risen (substantially?) in that near ten-year period.

Any information would be most gratefully received!
