Garden and Leisure Group Ltd, Regina (on the Application Of) v North Somerset Council and Another: Admn 4 Jul 2003

The claimant garden centre sought to challenge a relaxation on planning restrictions over a competing centre.
Held: The section 106 agreemnent was to be looked at to see what purpose was served by the original conditions. Section 106A(6) does not require that the obligation continues to serve its original purpose. What matters is whether the obligation continues to serve a useful purpose. The members had not properly considered what purpose had been served, or looked at the suggested terms as a whole. The application was not premature since the faults were probably incapable of correction otherwise.
