The Case
Town and country planning Permission for development. The Administrative Court, in dismissing the claimant's application to quash the decision of the planning inspector, held that the absence of any specific reasoning having been given by the inspector in relation to one factor of the planning representations did not of itself provide a basis from which it would be permissible for the court to infer that that consideration had not been taken into account.
