Amendments to approved plans, etc.
25.—(1) 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 plan must be carried out as approved unless an amendment is previously agreed in writing by the relevant planning authority in accordance with paragraph (2).
(2) Any amendment to the approved plan must be in accordance with the principles and assessments set out in the environmental statement and the other documents set out in article 35; and the agreement of the relevant planning authority to an amendment may be given only where it has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the relevant planning authority that the amendment is unlikely to give rise to any materially new or materially different environmental effects from those assessed in the environmental statement.
(3) The approved plan must be taken to include any amendment that may subsequently be approved in writing by the relevant planning authority.
