Hallam Land Management Ltd v UK Coal Mining Ltd and another: CA 30 May 2002

An option was granted for the sale of land subject to planning consent being granted. Eventually it was sought to exercise the option in respect of part only of the land.
Held: Though words in the contract made reference to all or part of the land, the references to the planning application were to the whole site, and in this context the option became exercisable only on the grant of permission for a substantial part of the site. This was not a substantial part. Landscaping works on other parts of the site would not count as development against this background and business context.
