Application for non-material amendment to planning permission
On this page you will find a downloadable application form and guidance notes. You will need to print the form, complete it and return with the required documentation and fee to Planning Services.
This form should be used to make an application for a non-material amendment (or amendments) to an existing planning permission.
There are separate forms and guidance notes for sites outside and inside the South Downs National Park.
Following a grant of planning permission, it may be necessary to make small amendments to the permission; for example, changing a finish or moving a door or window. Where these are non-material, this form can be used to apply.
Whether or not a proposed amendment is non-material will depend on the circumstances of the case – for example, moving a window could be material if it results in the overlooking of a neighbour, but could be non-material if it does not. If you are uncertain, you may wish to seek pre-application advice.
You will need to submit:
i) The original and 3 copies of a completed and dated application form;
ii) The original and 3 copies of other plans and drawings or information necessary to describe the subject of the application;
and
iii) the appropriate fee
