Paragraph 40 Amendments to plans, etc.I1

Where any Requirement requires the authorised project to be carried out in accordance with any programme, statement, plan, protocol, scheme, details or arrangements approved by the relevant planning authority or any other person (the “approving authority”), the approved programme, statement, plan, protocol, scheme, details or arrangements must be taken to include any amendments that may subsequently be approved by the approving authority (after consulting any person that the discharging authority is required to consult under the relevant Requirement).

The approving authority must not approve an amendment unless it is satisfied that the amendment is unlikely to give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects from those assessed in the environmental statement.
