TW Logistics, R (on the application of) v Tendring District Council & Anor [2013] EWCA Civ 9 (24 January 2013)

The CAMP does not create policy or promote development inconsistent with the Local Plan. Policy LMM1 requires only that the planning authority 'have regard' to the potential for port uses before allowing any change of use, not that port-related uses must be excluded before redevelopment. The CAMP's recommendations concern conservation and appearance, not future use, and any planning decisions remain subject to the Local Plan. There is no inconsistency or unlawfulness in the CAMP as alleged by TW Logistics.
