Canterbury CC v Colley and another
- 1993
- All England Law Reports (1993) 1 All ER 591-598(5) .
HL 21 January 1993. Concerned reactivation of planning permission for a dwelling house 25 years after its grant. Although a new application for the same site was refused, the council concluded, after some dispute, that the original permission was still valid. Shortly afterwards this acceptance was rescinded by order and subsequently by public inquiry. The applicants sought compensation under the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. LT made an award of £106,750, against which the council appealed claiming that s164 had been misinterpreted and that without planning permission the level of compensation should be less. CA agreed and the applicants appealed to the House of Lords. Appeal dismissed.
