Description
Once we have granted planning permission, you may find it necessary to make amendments to your proposal.
You can apply for a non-material amendment if your proposed changes do not have a significant impact on the development.
There is no statutory definition of what a non-material amendment is. However, we use the widely accepted definition of small-scale where no neighbouring properties will be affected.
If we grant your non-material amendment we will not create a new planning permission. Your original permission will still stand should be read in conjunction with the decision on this application.
You can find out more details about non-material amendments on the Planning portal.
