Condition Details / Information Notes
Having considered all relevant matters, including the requirements of Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, the proposed changes are considered to be non-material to planning permission 25/00128/FUL when considered individually and cumulatively and would not affect the scope of the planning permission or its associated conditions. The amendments include a revision to the approved unit numbers and, as a consequence, the description of development has been updated to reflect the development as amended. This change is considered to be non-material as it does not alter the nature, scale or overall form of the approved development. For the avoidance of doubt, only the description of development and the approved plans condition (Condition 1 of planning permission 25/00128/FUL) are amended to reflect the revised scheme. Application to vary conditions 1 (approved plans), 5 (CEMP), 8 (Foundation Detail),17 (floor levels), 21 (drainage), 23 (remediation), 25 (access),26 (waste collection), 27 (site operatives) and 28 (highway improvements, and delete conditions 2 (commencement) and 22 (contamination) of planning permission 22/00169/VARCO (Demolition and clearance of existing structures to facilitate the development of 102 apartments with access, cycle and car parking, landscaping and associated works) to allow for an alternative design and layout.) Condition 1 now reads: 1. The development hereby approved shall be carried out in complete accordance with the submitted plans and supporting documents, including all recommendations and specifications contained therein, except where otherwise stipulated by conditions attached to this permission.
