Issue - meetings

Adoption of the Local Plan took place on 16 January 2019.  Subsequent to this, a Pre-action Protocol letter was received from Field Fisher on behalf of “Dylon 2” stating that they proposed to challenge the adoption on a number of grounds.

Following a High Court hearing on 24 July 2019, Sir Duncan Ouseley handed down his judgement on 6 September 2019.

Members were requested to note the successful outcome of the Judicial Review of the Local Plan 2019.

The Chairman asked whether or not the applicant had appealed the High Court decision.  In response, the Legal Representative advised that the applicant was given a number of days in which to give the Council notice of an appeal.  To date, there was no sign that he wished to take any further action.  The Legal Representative agreed to send Members an updating e-mail to confirm the deadline had elapsed.  It was confirmed that the Council’s costs had been paid. 

RESOLVED that the judgement of Sir Duncan Ouseley in respect of the Judicial Review into the Bromley Local Plan (2019) be noted.
