Minor amendments to current planning applications
The table below provides guidance on cases that can normally be accepted as minor amendments to current planning applications:
| Type | Amendments |
|---|---|
| Re-siting of a building | Minor re-siting |
| Reducing the size of a building | Yes |
| Increasing the size of a building | Minor increases in size, depending on the effect on the appearance of the building and the area, and the effect on neighbours' amenity and providing no further publicity is required. |
| Change of elevations | Changes to elevations, depending on the effect on the appearance of the building and the area, and the effect on neighbours' amenity and providing no further publicity is required. |
| Change of internal design | Yes |
| Change of external materials | Yes |
| Change of access or parking arrangements | Yes, providing no further publicity is required. If the access is moved to a different position, it may not be considered a minor amendment. |
This list is not exhaustive, and whether amendments constitute a minor amendment will be a matter for consideration by the planning case officer.
