(7B)The Commission may not exercise the power under subsection (7A) in a way which would, in its opinion, result in the approval of a proposal substantially different from the proposal originally given approval.

(7C)Subsection (7) applies to a decision by the Commission to exercise, or not to exercise, the power under subsection (7A) as it applies to a decision by it whether to give, or to refuse to give, its approval to a proposal.]
