QBD 20 December 1991. Concerned the interpretation of `description` and `character` in the context of Town and Country Planning (Fees for Applications and Deemed Applications) Regulations 1989 reg 8. Involved a dispute over fees for a second planning application. Having been refused planning permission for residential development, the applicants submitted a second application. A fee of £3,800 accompanied the first application. However no fee was sent with the second application on the grounds that the application complied with the requirements of Regulation 8. After protest, the applicants paid a second fee. In dismissing an application for judicial review, HC held that the words `character` and `description` were ordinary english words devoid of mystique or technical meaning and were to be understood in the context in which they appear in the regulations. The planning authority should decide whether or not the developments were of the same character.
