Part 1: Planning Neighbourhood Planning Section 4: Modification of neighbourhood development order or plan
This section amends section 61M of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to enable a local planning authority to modify, only with the consent of the qualifying body for the neighbourhood area, a neighbourhood development order or plan if they consider that the modification does not materially affect any planning permission granted by the order or the policies in the plan.
	This section also amends the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 to insert new Schedule A2 which sets out the process for the modification of a neighbourhood development plan in cases where the proposed modifications would materially affect the policies in the plan but are not so significant or substantial as to change the nature of the plan.
	This section extends to England and Wales but applies to England only.
