"Recent headlines have been flooded with a false narrative about the planning system"
"Judicial review is a way for ordinary people to ensure that laws protecting their homes, communities and the environment are enforced."
"It has been used to make sure that development doesn't pollute our rivers and lakes, that there is outdoor space for children to play and that our most sensitive species and habitats are not wiped out by development."
A false narrative has flooded recent headlines about the planning system. Judicial review provides a way for ordinary people to ensure that laws protecting their homes, communities and the environment are enforced. Judicial review has been used to prevent developments that would pollute rivers and lakes, to secure outdoor spaces for children to play, and to stop destruction of the most sensitive species and habitats by development. Judicial review acts as a practical legal mechanism to uphold environmental protections, community amenities, and statutory safeguards against harmful development.
