Article summary

Planning analysis: In Tottenham Hotspur v Haringey LBC, the court had to consider a claim that a planning decision to permit a large new residential development in North London had been made unlawfully. The judge considered the threshold for a lawful assessment of the heritage impact of a development scheme, and the lawfulness of the use of a section 106 agreement and planning conditions to address crowd safety obligations. This judgment reiterates the importance of benefits to the local area in the decision-making process of large-scale development applications and restates the legal principles underpinning lawful decision-making by local planning authorities (LPAs). Written by Sarah Fitzpatrick, partner and head of Planning and Rebecca Bell, trainee solicitor at Norton Rose Fulbright.
