What is a Non-Material Amendment Application and When Can it be Used?

Are you making small changes to an approved planning application in England or Wales? You might not need to submit a brand-new application — instead, you could apply for a non-material amendment.

In this video, we explain what qualifies as a non-material amendment under Section 96A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and what kinds of changes local planning authorities typically accept. From repositioning windows to correcting minor drawing errors, you’ll learn exactly what you can and cannot apply for.

We also cover how to apply through the Planning Portal, what fees are involved, and why understanding the limits of this application type is essential. We’ll help you avoid common mistakes that lead to delays or rejections — and ensure your project stays on track.
