Paragraph 21 Approved plans and amendments to approved plans.I1

Where a Requirement requires the authorised development to be carried out in accordance with a plan, scheme, statement, strategy or details (the “plan”) approved by the relevant planning authority, the approved plan must be taken to include any amendments that may be approved subsequently by the relevant planning authority (after consulting every person required to be consulted before approval of the original plan).

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