(a)an application is made for an order granting development consent for development of a description in relation to which a national policy statement has effect,
(b)the Commission has accepted the application and has received a certificate under section 58(2), and (where section 59 applies) a notice under that section, in relation to the application, and
(c)the Secretary of State is satisfied that the condition in subsection (2) or (3) is met.
(2)The condition is that—

(b)the change was not anticipated at that time,
(c)if the change had been anticipated at that time, the relevant policy would have been materially different,
(d)if the relevant policy was materially different, it would be likely to have a material effect on the decision on the application, and

(3)The condition is that—

(b)the change was not anticipated at that time,
