Call-in challenge heads for Lords
- 2000
- Estates Gazette (0050) 16 December 2000, 32(1) .
The High Court has ruled that the Secretary of State's powers to call in planning applications are incompatible with the Human Rights Act but that Article 6(2) of the European Commission's Human Rights Convention allows the process to continue as it complies with domestic planning legislation. Counsel for the Secretary of State is seeking leave to appeal to the House of Lords, bypassing the Appeal Court, although the introduction of new legislation as a matter of urgency now seems inevitable.
