BASIS OF APPLICATION

21(1) This is the only minor changes application that has been made in respect of any particular grant of planning approval.

PASS - relates to 24/00763/B

21(2)(a) The Minor Change Application relates to the grant of planning approval in respect of a building

PASS - relates to "Demolition of existing dwelling; construction of 3 detached dwellings; new entrance to replace existing entrance, removal of an existing entrance; providing a passing place to public road; creation of internal shared private access driveway, parking & turning; new foul and surface water systems"

21(2)(b) The application specifies what minor changes are being sought

PASS - the changes are Item 1- substitution of standing seam roof with Cedral Thrutone slate (all three dwellings).

21(2)(b) The application specifies why the applicant considers the minor changes to be of a minor nature

PASS - set out in email dated 07.10.25 which states: "We believe the change in roof covering materials from the approved standing seam to slate constitutes a minor change in that the materials were specified and formed part of the original approved drawings. The change in specification of roof finish does detract from the aesthetic appearance & design concept and has no impact on the siting, size & layout of the dwellings."

21(2)(c)(i) The Minor Change Application does not increase the number of dwellings or buildings for which planning approval has been granted

PASS - no increase

21(2)(c)(ii)The Minor Change Application does not increase the net external footprint of a building for which planning approval has been granted

PASS - no increase

21(2)(c)(iii) The Minor Change Application does not alter the site for which planning approval has been granted and which was defined by a red line on the site location map by changing that line

PASS - no change to site

21(2)(c)(iv) The Minor Change Application does not make material changes to the vehicular access arrangements for which planning approval has been granted

PASS - no change

21(2)(c)(v) The Minor Change Application does not alter the conditions (if any) which have been imposed

PASS - no change - In this case Condition 7 is less specific and just asks for samples of the materials to be used. If it said submit a sample of the metal clad roof then this Minor Change Application to slate would be in clear breach of the condition. However, the condition is not so specific and therefore does not alter a condition.

21(2)(d)The Minor Change Application is not be made where the parent approval is less than 21 days old, subject to an undetermined appeal or has expired

PASS - original application approved 11.12.2024.
