There is no statutory definition of what constitutes ‘non-material’, so if you are unsure you will need to speak to the LPA in question.

Interesting……….but what defines “non-material” amendment in this context……..and is there a right of appeal in case of disagreement between the applicant and LPA on what is or is not material ?
