Redrow Homes Limited v Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities & Anor

Redrow Homes Limited v Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities & Anor

The Inspector did not err in law; she considered the planning merits of the undertakings and found them insufficient to secure the delivery of the footbridge, which was a critical and integral part of the development. Her reasoning was adequate and clear in context. The facts differ from Norfolk Homes as the original permission had been implemented and obligations had arisen.
