Land To West Of Dobb Brow Road Dobb Brow Road Bolton BL5 2AZ

1. 1.I refer to your application for a non-material amendment to planning permission reference: 18950/24. The Applicant states that the amendments would be to add a side extension to incorporate a games room. However, from reviewing the approved plans under the reserved matters application 8950/24 and the proposed plans under this non-material amendment application, it appears that the alterations to plot 10 are as follows:  Dwelling moved further to the south of the plot closer to the boundary with plot 9.  Garage moved to north of the dwelling  Alterations to driveway and landscaping  Side extension to property to incorporate games room, plant room and gym.  Reconfiguration of internal layout. Following an assessment of the details submitted, the amendments would increase the scale, change the siting of the dwelling and alter the overall appearance and proportions of plot 10. Conclusion I can confirm that the proposed changes are material and cannot be considered through an application under Section 96a of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. A minor material amendment application Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 would therefore be required; however these changes may not necessarily be approved as the development would need to be considered in terms of its material planning impacts.

From the council's decision notice.
