After you have paid your fee

You may have the option to pay your bond deposit at the same time as your fee, depending on the amount owed. If you choose to pay the bond later or if the amount due is more than £10,000, we will call you for the bond deposit. This can be paid by credit or debit card. The bond will be refunded after the completion of work, providing there is no damage to the enclosed public land.
