Minor Material Amendments

A small residential development was approved to provide for two detached dwellings and a pair of semi-detached dwellings. This wording was stated on the grant. The permission was subject to cited detailed drawings. It is now proposed that a Section 73 application is submitted to change the pair of SDs to a single detached house similar to those already approved. Mindful of the guidance provided by "Greater flexibility for planning permissions" and the general view that no permission is usually required to convert an existing pair of SDs to a single detached house would a refusal to validate such a Section 73 application be Wednesbury unreasonable?
