Chapter 4: Grant and Implementation of Planning Permission Chapter 6: Other Provision Section 128: Additional Powers in relation to non-material changes to development consent orders Effect
This section inserts new sub-paragraphs (1A) and (1B) after sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 2 of Schedule 6 to the Planning Act 2008.
	Sub-paragraph (1A) enables the Secretary of State to make provision through regulations about:
the decision-making process for non-material change applications
the making of a decision on a non-material change application
the effect of that non-material change decision.
	Sub-paragraph (1B) replicates paragraphs 2(8A) and 4(5A) of Schedule 6 to the Planning Act 2008, confirming for the avoidance of doubt that the power to make regulations includes a discretion as to how the power is exercised, and can include, for instance, provision allowing the Secretary of State to extend a deadline for a decision relating to a non-material change application.
