LAND EXCLUDED FROM GREEN BELT WAS ADMINISTRATIVE CONVENIENCE

Hague v. Warwick District Council (2008)

A Planning Inspector has erred in concluding that the only reason that land had been excluded from a green belt area was administrative convenience, and had erred in concluding that exceptional circumstances existed the necessitated a change to the classification of the land so as to include it in the green belt.

Robin Purchas QC, Francis Taylor Building, acted for Mr and Mrs Hague, the landowners. He was instructed by John Ruddick at Brindley Twist Taft and James.
