Which authority carries more weight.

[Lillykins]

On a planning issue which authority carries the weight:-

Court Order signed by a Judge and agreed by the Parties or
a planning officers interpretation, leading to a different decision.

 

[Nakajo]

So a planning officer has said one thing and a judge has said another thing?

 

[Lillykins]

Basically, yes.

What is the actual issue

A couple of non-frosted veluxes, I suspect

How has this come about. Was it a refused application, appealed and then taken to court, in which case the court's decision holds. Or are you talking about two separate processes, in which case it doesn't.

I've just noticed the other thread. If planning was approved there's nowt anybody can do about it now. No Judge, no court, no planner, nobody. It doesn't matter if there was an error in the approval, once it's approved that's the end of it.

@OP; if you think about it, jeds post is common sense really.

If anyone other than an applicant could appeal a planning decision, then the courts would be overwhelmmed with countless appeals by disgruntled neighbours; a planning permission has to be final.

If you believe the council has acted incorrectly in granting p.p., then all you can do is take your complaint to the ombudsman. If they found that the council was in the wrong, you might get awarded £50 for imconvenience caused, and the council would be told to buck it's ideas up in future, but that's about it.
