Solicitors Challenge Garage Plan Delay in Council
The case centers on a garage proposal held up by the Council under the Uniform Building Regulations with a 28 day window for action.

The plan’s deferral cites site unsuitability and an overhead bridge over the railway, with Dr Parsons noting applicants’ right to justice and duty to remove a viewing station if the Western proposal proceeds.
