Practice Direction 19 – Minor Variations

About this document

This practice direction sets out principles, procedures and documentation requirements for determining minor variations to development applications.

The practice direction must be applied in two specific situations:

1. to determine whether a variation from a Deemed-to Satisfy (DTS) criteria in the Planning and Design Code is minor in nature
2. to determine whether a variation to development previously granted Planning Consent is minor in nature.

The State Planning Commission issues practice directions to specify procedural requirements in connection with the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016.
