My 3 July 2021 blog post Safety & Planning covered the requirements introduced by the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure and Section 62A Applications) (England) (Amendment) Order 2021, which introduced a requirement for a fire statement to be submitted with applications for planning permission for development involving a building (1) contains two or more dwellings or educational accommodation and (2) contains 7 or more storeys or is 18 metres or more in height and which required consultation with the Health and Safety Executive before the grant of planning permission involving a high-rise residential building in certain circumstances.

Finneyconfirms that section 73 cannot be used to vary the operative part of a planning permission. I know that the information gathering in relation to the metrics will entail further work on the part of already busy staff but it will give a much clearer picture than anyone has at the moment huge delays are masked by routinely agreed time extensions.

I accept that, as matters stand, the claimant has not sought a declaration, which will be needed on the above basis, given that the inspectors decision should not be quashed. Private sector development will not take place unless, broadly speaking, (1) the land owner will be paid by the developer an amount sufficiently above existing use value to make it make it worth his or her while to sell, and above what the land may be worth for any other development which could be carried out on the land (2) the developer can achieve a profit which makes undertaking the development commercially worthwhile, having regard to the financial risks inherent in the project, and can be sufficiently confident that there will be a market for the end product and (3) the capital deployed can achieve a better return than if it were to be deployed elsewhere.

And in so doing, has provided further judicial authority for what planning lawyers end up saying again and again the limits of section 73 are not confined by the question of whether there would be a minor material amendment to the approved scheme, but whether there would be a fundamental variation to the approved scheme (as that is the test previously set down in Arrowcroft and subsequent cases).

Uh oh. Old school Royals and Royal wall, P/C st, 1985. A further thought is that there is no useful planning tool to avoid or minimise future private nuisance claims; unlike property rights, it is not a right which can be lawfully interfered with or compulsorily acquired by relying on a local planning authoritys statutory powers. Whether it is lack of policy clarity, capital waiting for investible propositions, infrastructure bottlenecks, or delays in the planning system, it is clear that we need action to catalyse the deployment of clean solutions, particularly if we want British companies to capture the economic benefits..

In other cases, it is appropriate to establish whether each of the proposed developments could proceed independently (R (Candlish) v Hastings Borough Council [2005] All ER (D) 178 (Jul); Baker v Bath & North East Somerset Council [2009] All ER (D) 169 (Jul)).

Our new outcomes-based approach to environmental assessment will ensure that the ambitions of the Environment Act and the 25-year environment plan are reflected in the planning process, placing the Governments environmental commitments at the centre of decision-making. This must all surely be right. In fact, at the foot of this post there is a table of month by month views of the blog since it started in June 2016.

The Supreme Court has overturned the ruling both of Mann J and subsequent ruling of the Court of Appeal and held, by a majority of three to two that the Tate was liable in nuisance for inviting the public to look out from a viewing platform from which they can, and many do, peer into the claimants flats and (the saga is far from over yet) another court will now need to grapple with the issue of what remedies (injunction/damages) may be appropriate. Its purpose is to control the development of land in the public interest. That point was exposed clearly inFinneywhere the resulting varied condition caused the Inspector to omit the conflicting words in the description of development in her decision.
