Willowslea Farm Kennels Ltd v Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions and another: Admn 10 May 2002

The claimants operated a kennels from near an airport. They objected that the construction of an extension to the airport would give rise to pollution which would threaten the health of their staff and the dogs in their care, and sought the imposition to the permission that would require monitoring of particular airborne pollutants.
Held: In an extremely long and complicated enquiry, the inspector had recognised the possible justice of the request, but had not had made available to him recognised standards or the means to support such a condition. His decision was not irrational or perverse, and the challenge failed.
