The second respondents had a factory. They sought planning permission to extend it, and this was granted with conditions, against which the land-owners appealed, saying that the first defendant had misused the opportunity to seek to impose conditions on the existing development.

The new conditions must however relate to the development now permitted. That applied in this case, and the conditions were not ultra vires.
