Green v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government: caravans - planning permission

摘要

*1022 Mr Green (the appellant) appealed against the judgment of Mr Timothy Corner QC, sitting as a Deputy Judge of the High Court on March 19,2009 whereby applications by the appellant and by Canterbury City Council (the council) under s.288 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (the 1990 Act) were refused. They sought to quash a decision of the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (the Secretary of State) dated June 24, 2008 by which planning permission was granted for development on land at Moate Farm, Stodmarsh Road, Fordwich, Canterbury, Kent (the appeal site). The decision was *1023 taken by an inspector appointed by the Secretary of State. The inspector's task was to determine an appeal against a decision of the council refusing an application by Mr Shane Jones for planning permission in relation to the appeal site. The development proposed was "the siting of 3 x 40 ft x 20 ft caravans for all year round dwellings".
