Why Was This Approved?

• ✓No change to approved footprint, ridge height, or overall massing
• ✓No new or increased impacts on neighbouring properties or highway safety
• ✓Development remains compliant with the development plan
• ✓Changes limited to window resizing, patio door alteration, and deletion of one rear window
• ✓Assessed and passed all minor change thresholds under the 2019 Development Procedure Order

The application proposed three small alterations to the approved scheme for replacing a utility room with a single-storey side extension (ref. 25/90277/B): resizing a window on the front elevation, altering the size of a rear patio door, and deleting a rear window. None of these changes affected the approved footprint, ridge height, or overall massing of the building. The officer assessed the proposal against the minor change thresholds in the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019. The changes passed all relevant tests: they did not significantly increase the scale of the development, did not alter its nature, did not cause the scheme to fall out of compliance with the development plan, and introduced no new or increased impacts on neighbouring properties, highway safety, or the environment compared with the parent approval.

The changes were judged acceptable because they were limited in scope, left the building's footprint and massing unchanged, and introduced no new adverse impacts compared with the already-approved extension. The proposal met all the minor change thresholds under the 2019 Development Procedure Order and did not warrant a fresh full application.
