- High Court
The Court declined to approve the parties' proposed settlement and amendment to the Unitary Plan because it was not satisfied, on the materials before it, that the Council's decision involved an error of law; the Court's powers under r20.19 (applied via s158(5)) to amend or direct amendments to planning documents can only properly be exercised where the Court is first satisfied that an error of law has occurred.
