Wallis v Vale of Glamorgan Council [2006] EWCA Civ 1298 (08 September 2006)

None of the five grounds advanced disclosed an arguable error of law; the criticisms raised were matters of planning judgment or fact, not law. The Council provided adequate reasons, acted within its discretion, and complied with statutory requirements. The application was an attempt to debate planning merits, not legal errors.
