William Morrison Supermarkets plc v Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions and Stockton on Tees Borough Council: QBD 11 May 2000

The applicant appealed a refusal of planning permission for a super-store. The inspector said the store would conflict with the development plan and was on balance disadvantageous. The Secretary of State received further representations and allowed for them, but said they had added nothing new.
Held: The Secretary had failed to take properly into account two considerations, the need for such a store, and the removal of the college from the site. The applicant had also been prejudiced by the reception of the representations.
