Stop Portland Waste Incinerator v Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government & Ors

The Inspector and Secretary of State provided legally adequate reasons for granting planning permission, including explicit comparative analysis of the appeal site and allocated sites, application of the Spatial Strategy and proximity principle, and balancing of relevant policy considerations; the appellant's reasons challenge fails as the decision addressed all principal controversial issues.
