Unreasonable decline?
01 Jan 2018
On 7th February Mrs Justice Swift gave permission for a judicial review of the LB Richmond’s decision to decline to determine an application for planning permission under section 70A of the 1990 Act on pure Wednesbury grounds. She found it arguable that, while the same use had been refused permission by the Secretary of State, the differences in the proposal before them coupled with the additional evidence relied upon, made their decision irrational.
Harriet Townsend is acting for the Claimant. The hearing has been expedited so as to be heard before 31st May 2013.
