Why it was refused

  1. A There is no statutory definition with regards to what constitutes or is considered to be ‘non-material’ within the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. All decisions on such matters are dependent upon the context of an overall development and site specific considerations including regard being given to the effect of the changes proposed, together with any previous changes made under section 96A, on the planning permission as originally granted. The proposal put forwards seeks to amend the height of the side extension and bring the extension level with the host property. The first floor of the extension would be lowered, the fenestrations altered and the lean-to roof above the garage removed. The proposal is considered to result in a material change to the previously approved scheme, which would require further consideration in terms of the design and impact on the host dwelling and street scene. As such, the non-material amendment application would not be the correct mechanism for making these changes. An application under section 73 to vary the condition relating to approved drawing numbers would be required should you wish to pursue the amended scheme. As such, I would advise that full planning application should be submitted should you wish the Council to formally consider the acceptability of the proposed amendment.

From the council's decision notice.
