The officer evaluated the minor change application against the specific tests in Articles 21-24 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019.
Minor Changes Applications (Articles 21, 22, 23, 24)
Requires minor changes to pass strict tests: must not significantly increase size/scale, change nature, create new adverse impacts, or be more than minor warranting a new application. The proposal failed 21(2)(b) (justification of minor nature), 23(1)(e) (more than minor due to front panels in conservation area), and 23(2) (not acceptable as minor change), despite passing most other tests. Tension arose from conservation area context elevating visual impact assessment beyond minor change scope.
