Ep226: Casebook Extra – the month’s key ministerial, inspectors’ and court decisions summarised
The latest edition of our monthly series examining the key recent appeal and court decisions, in which we speak to technical editor David Dewar, who compiles Planning’s long-running Casebook section. This month, we’ll be discussing: An inspector citing a key new policy in the updated National Planning Policy Framework, one day after the document was published, in assessing a housing proposal in Essex. A secretary of state call-in decision on a huge scheme featuring 3,500 homes and a football stadium that is notable for economic development being a clinching factor in its refusal. The High Court finding that a planning committee had been given a false impression due to background papers on biodiversity net gain not being disclosed. How inspectors are testing a national policy that allows neighbourhood plans to disapply the presumption in favour of sustainable development. An appeal inspector anticipating "impulsive and unpredictable noises" from people using a proposed commercial “sauna to ice bath” operation in a residential area. More information on all these cases can be found in the September edition of Casebook on Planning Resource.
