Robbins v SoS Environment and another
- 1988
- Estates Gazette (8834) 27 August 1988, 59-71(7) .
CA 17 May 1988. The appellant (R) was the owner of a mill house and 920m2 of land purchased in 1969 with consent to convert it to use as a dwelling which has since been done. In 1951 the mill had been listed and in 1983 a repairs notice under Town and Country Planning Act 1947 s115 was served on it followed by a compulsory purchase order in 1984. R did not make an application to the magistrates court but did appeal to the SoS under Acquisition of Land Act 1981 . The report concluded that the mill did now differ in many ways from the original description in the listing, following its conversion . However it was in a poor state of repair and so the cpo remained. R appealed but this was dismissed on the grounds that although some items were included in the repairs notice in error it was still valid and the cpo was not quashed.
