First Corporate Shipping Ltd (T/A Bristol Port Co) v North Somerset District Council: CA 15 Jun 2001

A local plan could itself be challenged by an application under the Act, but that section could not properly be used to challenge a decision by the local authority not to hold an inquiry before adopting the plan. Where the process had concluded, and appeal was appropriate, but where it had not got to that stage, it was not. It sought a quashing order which was not appropriate at this stage.
