Paragraph 28 Amendments agreed by the relevant planning authorityI1

Where the words “unless otherwise agreed with the relevant planning authority” appear in the above requirements, any such approval or agreement may only be given in relation to non-material amendments and where it has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the relevant planning authority that the subject matter of the approval or agreement sought will not give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects from those assessed in the environmental statement.

In cases where the requirement or the relevant sub-paragraph requires consultation with specified persons, any approval or agreement must not be given without the relevant planning authority having first consulted with those persons.
