The Case
Town and country planning Permission for development. Queen's Bench Division, Administrative Court: The court dismissed an application whereby the claimant, a resident in an 'open plan housing estate', had sought to overturn a decision by the Secretary of State's inspector refusing him planning permission for a wrought iron fence which he had erected along part of the boundary dividing his property and that of his immediate neighbour. Much was made of the fact that the development was out of keeping with the open nature of the estate.
