237A.

(1) This section applies where a section 33 consent (“the original consent”)
has been given or made as a result of an application made before Part 4
came into force.

(2) Nothing in section 33 prevents the original section 33 consent, or a
section 33 consent that replaces it, from being varied or replaced.

(3) Subsection (5) applies if the original consent, or a section 33 consent that
replaces it, is varied or replaced, and the remaining development is
development for which development consent would otherwise be
required.

(4) “The remaining development”—

(a) in a case where the consent is varied, is the development to which
the consent as varied relates, to the extent it has not already been
carried out;

(b) in a case where the consent is replaced, is the development to
which the replacement consent relates, to the extent it has not
already been carried out.

(5) Section 31 does not apply to the remaining development (and so
development consent is not required for it).

(6) A section 33 consent replaces an earlier section 33 consent for the
purposes of this section if (but only if)—

(a) it is granted or made on an application for consent for
development without complying with conditions subject to
which the earlier section 33 consent was granted or made, and

(b) it is granted subject to, or made on, different conditions, or
unconditionally.

(7) In this section “section 33 consent” means a consent, authorisation, order,
