Issued permit: changing approved plans safely
Decide when a field change must go back to the authority instead of being treated as a casual on-site adjustment.
VERT / GREEN
Keep the permit, approved plans and a dated list of proposed changes.
JAUNE / YELLOW
Moving an opening, structure, use, siting or service can change what was approved.
ROUGE / RED
Material change built before knowing whether an amendment/new permit is required: stop irreversible work and ask the local authority for the process.
Quick triage
What the professional checks
