    + The change would not require the application to be referred to a referral agency; and
    + The original application was publicly notified.

For the reasons outlined above, it is considered that the proposed changes constitute a ‘minor change’ to
the approved development. On this basis, it is considered that the request should be dealt with pursuant to
provisions outlined within Section 81 of the Planning Act 2016.
