| 1. | Section 96A of the Town and County Planning Act 1990 states: 'In deciding whether a change is material, a Local Planning Authority must have regard to the effect of the change, together with previous changes made under this section, on the planning permission as originally granted.' The LPA must be satisfied that the amendment sought is non-material in order to grant an application under section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
In deciding whether a change is non-material, the authority must have regard to the effect of the change, together with any previous non-material changes, on the planning permission as originally granted; in this instance permission for the development was granted by virtue of the permitted development regulations.
I can confirm that the amendment described is not accepted by Great Yarmouth Borough Council as a non-material amendment and as such the amendment applied for on the 15th September 2022 is refused.
Due to alterations to the roof profile and the impact upon design and appearance of the extension as a whole, the proposal cannot be considered to be a non-material amendment and any formal proposal to amend the permission in this way should be subject to either a new full planning permission or a new application for prior approval under the permitted development regulations, both of which require express permission from the Local Planning Authority. |
