It is sometimes necessary to amend development proposals after planning permission has been granted. Where these are not significant amendments, they may be described as ‘non-material’. Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, amended by the Planning Act 2008, permits applications for non-material amendment to planning permissions. This avoids the need for an entirely new planning application to be submitted, allowing instead for the original permission to be amended whilst remaining subject to the original conditions and time limits.

There is no statutory definition for the sort of changes that might be considered non material. Instead, it is considered to depends on the context, and is determined by the local planning authority. It is advisable therefore to consult with the local planning authority. An application can then be made, and a small fee is payable.

The Town and Country Planning Act suggests that in deciding whether a change is material, a local planning authority must have regard to the effect of the change, together with any previous changes made under this section, on the planning permission as originally granted.

As the change is non-material, it is unlikely that consultation will be necessary, although anyone who may be affected must be informed, and they may then make representations to the local authority. The application should be determined within 28 days unless a different time has been agreed.

A non-material amendment might be one where:
*It is a very small change.
*It does not vary significantly from what was described on the planning permission
*It does not conflict with any conditions on the permission.
*It does not breach planning policy.
*It does not significantly move the external envelope outward, or increase the height of the roof.
*It does not introduced or move windows or other openings that could affect other properties.

A more significant change might be described as a minor material amendment. Again, there is no statutory definition of what this means, however, the Planning Officers Society suggest that a minor material amendment is one ‘…whose scale and nature results in a development which is not substantially different from the one which has been approved.’ These might include:
*A reduction in size
*Changes to windows or other openings that do not impact on neighbouring properties.
*Minor alterations to design or siting.

Such changes might be dealt with a variation of condition application.

Material changes, for which a fresh application might be required could include:
*Significantly increasing its size.
*Changes to windows or other openings that do Impact on neighbouring properties.
*Changes that alter the description of development.
*Changes to the application site area.
*Significant alterations to design or the siting.
*Changes that would affect relevant objections to the original proposal.
