Human rights factor in decision deadlines
Drummond, I
Human rights factor in decision deadlines - 2000 - Planning (for the Natural and Built Environment) (1397) 1 December 2000, 22(1) .
Describes how the European Convention on Human Rights helped to resolve a 10-year delay on a court decision involving a planning decision for a super-quarry in Scotland. The recent judicial review in "Lafarge Redland Aggregates Ltd v Scottish Ministers" reminded the latter that they are subject to censure in carrying out their duties and must abide by the requirements of the convention. It is now clear that developers in the planning process are afforded the protection of human rights. The actions of local and executive planning authorities will therefore be subject to even more court scrutiny.
