Overview
A landmark High Court ruling this week has offered landowners the possibility of increased rental values from their estates and will set alarm bells ringing for local planning authorities, whose retail planning policies may now lie in tatters. The case involved a challenge brought by Stevenage Borough Council to the decision of the Secretary of State on appeal to grant a lawful development certificate to the owners of an out of town retail park in the borough.
