Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, by what process planning decisions can be reversed at the discretion of a court.
This question was answered on 8th July 2014
Challenges to planning appeal decisions are made under Section 288 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
If a challenge is successful the High Court will normally return the case to the Planning Inspectorate for it to be decided again. This does not necessarily mean that the original decision will be changed or reversed.
