South Gloucestershire Council v Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government

摘要

A local authority applied to quash a planning inspector's decision to grant the interested party planning permission for a proposed development. The development comprised 350 dwellings, a 70-unit elderly care facility, community and commercial facilities, and associated public open space and infrastructure. The local authority had refused outline planning permission because the development was speculative in nature and would not result in a comprehensively planned development. However, following a six-day inquiry, the inspector granted outline planning permission subject to conditions.
