Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (TCPA 1990) (as amended) allows an application to be made to the local planning Authority (LPA) to carry out development without Compliance with a condition or condition subject to which a planning permission was previously granted.

The LPA’s consideration of the application is limited to consideration of the conditions to which the original permission was granted and consideration of different conditions. If it considers the original conditions should not be changed, the LPA must refuse the application (TCPA 1990, s 73(2)(a) and (b)). See also Pye v Secretary of State for the Environment.

See TCPA 1990, s 100ZA for statutory restrictions on the power to impose Planning conditions in England.
