Looks at the potentially far-reaching implications of the HL's decision, expected in April 2001, on a case involving RAF Alconbury and three other developments (see: ABS63468). The HL is expected to uphold the High Court's earlier ruling that the decision-making role of the SoS, in planning and related areas, is incompatible with the Human Rights Act 1998. Focuses particularly on the implications for waste planning, if the decision is upheld. Also notes that it will mean the drafting of new primary legislation and regulations. Suggests that one of the most significant changes could be the granting of the right to appeal against planning decisions by objectors. This could entail huge costs.
