R (Wright) v Resilient Energy Severndale Ltd and Forest of Dean District Council [2019] UKSC 53

A planning application was granted by a local council so that a new wind turbine could be built but was then challenged by a local resident. Part of the inducement to grant permission was an annual donation to a community benefit fund but it was argued that this was not a material consideration that should have been taken into account. In this episode we also discuss how well planning law is facing up to a range of issues that it faces in the 21st Century. Music from bensound.com
