A variety of other planning related applications may be required. For further information please contact the Planning Information Officer| or go to the Planning Portal| where you can apply online.
Below are some of the different types of application that you may be required to make.
Non Material Amendments
New legislation was introduced on 1 October 2009 which legally allows the Council to approve non material changes to approved developments (SI 2009 no2261 T&C Planning (GDP) (Amendment no 3) (England) Order 2009.
An application| for a “non-material amendment” removes the need for an entirely new planning application to be submitted where only a very small change is sought. Such an application, if approved, would form an amendment to the original planning permission and would be subject to the conditions and time limit of the original permission.
As to whether a change is material or non material is a decision to be made by the Local Planning Authority and the Tyne and Wear protocol below helps explain how such an assessment is made.
For applications that are for non material amendments there are no consultations requirements (due to the minor changes) and a decision should be issued in 28 days.

Extenstion of Time applications
New legislation has been introduced that allows for any planning application granted planning permission prior to 1 October 2009 to have it’s “life” extended assuming it is still within the time period that it could be implemented.
To make such an application requires the completion of the application form below but you do not need to resubmit all the previous supporting documents (including any design and access statements).
It is useful however to provide a covering letter/document explaining the reason behind why you are seeking an extension of time as this will form part of the basis for assessing the application along with any changes in planning policy or on site material considerations.
