245			_aR v Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority ex p Council for National Parks Ltd
260			_c2004
520			_a[2004] EWHC 2907 (Admin), 17 December 2004. Discussed if local economic benefit constitutes a material consideration. P granted outline planning permission to develop Bluestone holiday village within Pembrokeshire national park. C contended that P had acted contrary to the local plan policy, breaching the requirements of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 s54A by following a flawed decision-making process, which took account of the development's local economic value as a reason for not adhering to the development plan. C argued that, if the development did not meet the criterion set out in the local plan that it must contribute to an overriding national interest, then the local economic benefit cannot be relied on as a material consideration in P's decision. C also alleged bias on the part of two members of P. "Held": claim dismissed. P's decision-making process was fully in accordance with the law. Even if the local economic case was considered insufficient under the terms of the local plan to be deemed an overriding national need, it remained a material consideration. P was entitled to consider whether the economic benefits of the development nonetheless justified the development in the circumstances. The court rejected the alleged bias accusation against the two members. The Council for National Parks has been granted permission to appeal against decision.
