"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."
Recent headlines have been flooded with a false narrative about the planning system. Judicial review provides ordinary people a mechanism to ensure enforcement of laws that protect homes, communities, and the environment. Judicial review has been used to prevent development-related pollution of rivers and lakes, to secure outdoor spaces where children can play, and to protect the most sensitive species and habitats from destructive development. Judicial review functions as an important check on planning decisions and enables community-led defense of environmental and social protections.
