Design Review Committee

Although our plans got approved quite quickly, it wasn't without issue - we had to pay a Design Review Committee fee to the Developer's Architect. Needless to say, we were very surprised about this fee as it wasn't mentioned in the contract or the guideline that we would have to cover the cost. We would have thought the Developer would pay for it since it's them hiring the Architect to ensure the guidelines are being met.

We paid the fee to avoid further delays but what are the chances of getting this back...
