Requires nature unchanged. Officer confirmed remains 'new residential estate' despite internal layout tweaks.
Must not cause original approval to cease complying with Development Plan etc

Must not result in new or increased adverse impacts on neighbours/environment
Prohibits significant/disproportionate new impacts. Changes 'contained within site', no neighbour or environmental effects expected.
