520 _aHighlights a recent case "Dodd v SoS Environment" [2002] which dealt with the redevelopment of brownfield land. Case concluded that permission to develop on brownfield land may be refused where the land falls outside the definition of 'previously developed land' contained in PPG 3. The claimants appeal to have decision to refuse planning permission reversed was refused. Decision hinged on whether the remains of a previous structure on the site had blended into the landscape. Could be interpreted by landowners that in order to prevent remains blending into the landscape, they could decide not to demolish remains of existing structures or prevent growth of vegetation, so that land can be redeveloped. However, this could lead to many sites becoming eyesores.
