Gateshead MBC v SoS Environment and Northumbrian Water Group plc

Gateshead MBC v SoS Environment and Northumbrian Water Group plc - 1994 - Property and Compensation Reports (1994) 67 P&CR 179-191(13) .

QBD 29 September 1993. The grant of outline planning permission for a clinical waste incinerator on appeal from N, contrary to the Inspector`s recommendations, was challenged in the courts by G. G argued that SoS`s reliance on the EPA pollution controls alone was not a lawful route for a planning decision; that the controls themselves were not shown to be sufficient in the circumstances; and the SoS had not justified his departure from the Inspector`s opinion. The court dismissed G`s application considering there to be legitimate overlap between planning and pollution control and that the SoS had presented his reasons intelligibly.
