AN application for judicial review into planning permission for up to 265 homes, associated works and a new link road at Knowls Lane, Springhead, has been dismissed.
The case was brought by forward by Stephen Hewitt on behalf of Save Our Valleys against Oldham Council in relation to the application submitted by Russell Homes which the council’s planning committee approved.
Mr Justice Julian Knowles heard the case on July 28, with the claim brought on four grounds.
Handing down his judgement on December 18, he rejected all four grounds of challenge and so the application for judicial review is dismissed.
A full report and reaction will follow.
