This form is required to make a request to vary any planning permission granted by Orkney Islands Council. Any such request must be made by the grantee of the planning permission, or a person acting with the consent of the grantee. The planning authority may approve the variation of the planning permission if it appears to the planning authority that the variation sought is not material.
Note that if a proposed variation is considered material, the request for a non-material variation may be refused. In such cases a new planning application would be required for the variation. Further guidance is provided by Development Management.
