R (on the application of CPRE Kent) v Dover District Council [2016] EWCA Civ 936, [2016] All ER (D) 73 (Sep)
The Court of Appeal held that the appeal would be allowed in a case where the appellant, CPRE Kent, appealed against the dismissal of its challenge to the respondent local authority’s decision to grant planning permission in respect of two sites in Dover, one of which was within an area of outstanding natural beauty. In the circumstances, the authority’s planning committee had failed to give legally adequate reasons for its decision to grant planning permission.
