- The effect that varying the conditions would have on the description of development and/or operative part of the permission
What decided it
The proposed variation of conditions would result in a change to the description of development (reduction from 5 to 3 bedrooms and removal of basement), which is not permitted under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 as established by the Finney judgement.
