Regina v Durham County Council and Others Ex Parte Huddleston: CA 15 Mar 2000

A quarry owner had allowed his mineral extraction licence to lapse, and sought to renew the permission. The authority failed to issue a decision within the appropriate time period, and a deemed permission was granted. The UK system appeared not to require an environmental impact assessment to be made before such a grant, in breach of European law. It was held that under such circumstances, a private individual deprived of his rights under European law, should be allowed to challenge the deemed permission. The directive had direct effect.
