- Have the following or similar condition on the permit:
- "The use and/or development as shown on the endorsed plan(s) must not be altered without the written consent of the responsible authority"
- The changes must not transform the permit to a use or development that was not previously considered and approved
- The changes cannot be contrary to any condition in the original permit
