John Blewett v Derbyshire Waste Limited

We acted for John Blewett in a judicial review against a planning permission given by the Derbyshire County Council to Derbyshire Waste to use land at the former Glapwell Colliery in North-East Derbyshire for “land reclamation by waste disposal with restoration to agricultural, woodland, grassland and nature conservation". Mr Justice Sullivan at the High Court quashed the permission on 7th November 2003.

Derbyshire Waste Limited appealed to the Court of Appeal but our client was again successful in defending the appeal. Counsel was David Wolfe of Matrix Chambers.
