Schedule 6, Paragraph 3: Changes to, and revocation of, orders granting development consent
253.This paragraph provides the appropriate authority with further powers to make a change to a development consent order. These powers are wide enough to make changes which the appropriate authority considers material and to allow a development consent order to be revoked. The powers may be exercised on application by the people specified. These include the applicant or a successor in title of the applicant, a person with an interest in the land, and in some circumstances, the local planning authority and the Secretary of State. However, no application is needed if the development consent order contains a significant error which it would not be appropriate to correct under Schedule 4. In addition, no application is needed where the appropriate authority is the Secretary of State and she is satisfied that either if the development were carried out, there would be breach of European Community or Convention rights under the Human Rights Act 1998, or that there are other exceptional circumstances.
