Discusses the liability of Local Planning Authorities (LPAs) for problems arising from defective design. Considers "Kane v New Forest DC" ([2001] EWCA Civ 878, [2002] 1 WLR 312) and refers to case law which examines the liability and potential liability of local authorities. Sets out the liabilities of LPAs and developers and identifies possible scenarios which may arise.
