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 submitted on or after 12 December 2024 are subject to a fee of £230, 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.
