Article summary

Planning analysis: In Fiske v Test Valley BC, the Planning Court upheld the decision of Test Valley Borough Council (the LPA) to grant a slot-in planning permission for an electricity substation that would connect a solar farm to the grid, even though that permission was incompatible with the earlier permission authorising the solar farm, and if implemented, would result in the solar farm not being capable of being built out in accordance with the earlier permission.
