CA, 30 May 2002. Appellant (H) had the benefit of an option to buy a 45 acre site from the respondent landowners (U) that was exercisable following application for the development of the property. H was granted planning permission for a development on 2.5 acres of land for company HQ with landscaping. H exercised the option to purchase the site and U contended the option was not validly exercised. The judge held that the option had not been validly exercised because H had not submitted a planning application for the development of the whole of the property, as required in the terms of the option agreement. H appealed. "Held": appeal dismissed on the grounds that the property was defined as the 45 acre site and H's application was inconsistent with that definition.
