The complainants challenged a decision to grant planning permission to develop houses on land neighbouring theirs. They owned a substantial proportion of land in the neighbourhood, and they were not bringing enough land forward to allow fulfillment of perceived requirements.
Held: Such permission could only be granted, because of its position, in exceptional circumstances. In this case the report was clear and adequate, and the consequent decision stood.
