Illustration for Planning Bill

When you review the conditions of a planning consent, the consent authority must think about the matters in subpart 4 and whether the activity allowed by the consent will still be viable after the change. They must also think about any reasons the court gave for making the order to review, if the review is under section 168(2). The consent authority can also think about how the consent has been used.
