When you want to alter what's on planning permission

Hello, so I'm talking about having the patio door on the porch a fair bit smaller than shown on the plans. Maybe a meter smaller. Wouldn't mind changing the colour of the Soffits either.
From what I've seen online this is a no no so does anyone know if there's a way around it that doesn't involve a new application?

Search for non material amend.
It'a for small amends to plans that don't need new applications.
From memory it's about £40 and then they just approve quite quick if all ok

I think window and doors aren't non material from what I've seen anyway. Or maybe it varies from council to council. Cheers

I changed a window to a french door on mine and was fine.

As long as it doesn't change the footprint or impact on neighbours you should be ok and you're making it smaller not bigger

I'd just email the planners and say what you'd like to do and can you submit a non material amend.

I'll give it a try. Thanks.
