Article summary

Planning analysis: In Hillside Parks v Snowdonia National Park Authority, the court grappled with the correct interpretation of a series of planning permissions for residential development on a site, dating back to a masterplan for 401 dwellings permitted in 1967. The court decided that the development authorised by the original permission could no longer be built-out, as the intervening planning permissions for individual dwellings on the site had made it physically impossible to complete the original development fully in accordance with the original permission.
