Samuels, Alec

Costs in planning appeals - 2008 - Journal of Planning and Environment Law (Issue 10) 2008, 1407-1410(4) .

Article looks at the reasons and procedure for asking for the award of costs after the refusal of a planning application. Discusses the legislative background and suggests that the decisions by councillors to refuse planning applications in spite of professional advice that would recommend otherwise are likely to lead to appeals and awards of costs. The author posits that training for councillors may prove beneficial in avoiding such eventualities.
