TW Logistics, R (on the application of) v Tendring District Council & Anor

TW Logistics, R (on the application of) v Tendring District Council & Anor

The challenged sections of the CAMP are not inconsistent with the relevant parts of the Local Plan. The CAMP does not make policy or promote development but addresses conservation issues. Policy LMM1 requires the planning authority to 'have regard' to the potential for port uses, not to give them exclusive priority. The Local Plan encourages mixed-use development and does not prohibit redevelopment or reorganisation of the port, provided the relevant policies are considered. The judge's interpretation and reasoning were correct.
