Highlights a series of recent court judgements where local planning authorities have struggled to comply with the reasons for grant requirements. Difficulties faced include the need to summarise decisions that may have been made thanks to a large amount of factors; a lack of specific guidance for interpreting aspects of the General Development Procedure Order 2005 (GDPO) and problems describing the adequacy of reasons. The authors suggest making amendments to the current legislation, including changes to Article 22(1) of the GDPO.
