Article summary

Planning analysis: In Taytime v SSLUHC, the court granted permission under section 288 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (TCPA 1990) on one ground in relation to an appeal to quash an inspector’s appeal against the refusal of planning permission. The complicating facts within this case were that the original applicant was a company which was in the process of being dissolved but had created an arrangement with another company—Taytime-to bring the appeal. Written by Tim Baldwin, barrister, Garden Court Chambers.
