The High Court continued an interim planning injunction over caravan occupation at Aldermaston, holding that most occupiers moved on after the order and in breach of it.
The Council failed to demonstrate that it had properly reassessed the balance of factors in light of new information regarding the welfare needs and personal circumstances of residents, including children. Therefore, a final injunction was not granted; instead, the interim injunction was extended to preserve the status quo pending determination of the planning application, with costs in the case.

Source excerpt
The claimants proved, through overwhelming and unchallenged evidence, that repeated unauthorised encampments and associated activities caused significant harm, nuisance, and breaches of planning control within defined areas. Statutory and other remedies were inadequate. The court found it just, proportionate, and necessary to grant final injunctive relief, including against persons unknown, with a power of arrest, subject to strict territorial and temporal limits and procedural safeguards.
