VILLAGERS are celebrating after winning the right to go ahead with a ground-breaking judicial review over plans to build 176 houses on fields in Menston.
Lawyers acting on behalf of Menston Action Group (MAG) announced today that the Court of Appeal has allowed its judicial review of the proposed development at the Derry Hill site to proceed on all grounds of challenge.
It is believed the case could make new law when it goes to a full two day hearing before the Administrative Court in Leeds this summer.
MAG, formed in 2010 to represent the residents of Menston, is objecting to Barratt Homes’ proposals to build the houses.
Barratt Homes was given planning permission subject to various conditions, including a requirement to submit a drainage scheme for the development based upon sustainable drainage principles.
A scheme was submitted in early 2014 and was approved by Bradford Council last August.
