In R v SoS for the Environment ex parte Nuneaton and Bedworth BC and Hanson and another v SoS for the Environment and another, QBD 15 December 1989, it was held that the inspector had concluded that the local planning authority had failed to support with substantial evidence its central contention that the supply of industrial development land was such as to call into serious question the basis upon which an allocation of area had been made. The SoS for the Environment was entitled to find that the local planning authority had acted unreasonably and had put both appellants at the inquiry to considerable expense notwithstanding that the local plan remained to be tested at the concurrent inquiry.
