Tobin v The Welsh Ministers & Anor [2026] EWHC 171 (Admin) (30 January 2026)
High Court planning appeal dismissed after the judge held that the inspector had properly considered disability rights and gave adequate reasons for refusing permission for a porch.
The High Court dismissed Ms Tobin’s planning appeal, holding that the inspector lawfully considered the Public Sector Equality Duty and gave adequate reasons.
The Inspector unlawfully applied the Green Belt policy exception in NPPF paragraph 154(g) to the entire site without properly assessing the extent and proportion of previously developed land as required by law, failed to provide adequate reasons for this conclusion, took into account an immaterial consideration (equestrian use), and reached an irrational conclusion, thereby rendering the planning permission unlawful and requiring it to be quashed.
