Non-Material Variation to a planning permission

Apply for a Non-Material Variation

You can apply if you are:

  • the person who was granted planning permission
  • acting on their behalf with their consent
  • a successor in title to the land

How to apply

Complete the online application form.

Submit a request for a non-material variation

If you need to submit supporting information or revised plans, upload them through the ePlanning.scot portal using the Post Submission Additional Documents (PSAD) option after submitting your form.

Fees

A fee is payable for all non-material variation requests. When making payment, quote NMV.

We cannot process your request until payment has been received.

View the current fee under ‘Non-material variations’ on our Planning fees and charges page.

What happens next

We will assess your request. Approval of a non-material variation is at the discretion of the Planning Authority.

If approved, we will issue a decision confirming the variation forms part of the original planning permission.

If we decide the change is material, you will need to submit a new planning application.
