Apply for planning permission

Making changes to your planning consent

A Non-Material Variation (NMV) application is a proposal to change an approved development that will not significantly alter what was granted planning permission.

All NMV applications are subject to a fee of £200, as set by the Scottish Government.  

A NMV application can only relate to a granting of planning permission. It is tied to the original permission and is not a new consent. It is not possible to apply for a NMV for any other type of application such as

  • Listed Building consent
  • Conservation Area consent
  • Advert applications
  • prior notifications.

Developments which are primarily related to improving accessibility for people with disabilities are exempt from a fee. 

Before requesting a NMV read our customer service guide. The guide sets out the

  • information required to be submitted
  • level of service you will receive
  • charges.
