Mountfield judicial review update v2
Thanks to donations from residents of South Canterbury and beyond, legal action is being taken to tear up the decision of Canterbury City Council to grant planning permission for Mountfield Park, the largest development that it has ever considered. The development includes 4,000 houses/flats, and over 750,000 square feet of other mainly commercial buildings.
Significant progress with the case has been made. Permission has been granted by the Honourable Mr. Waksman, a High Court judge, so that the case can be taken forward on all grounds and considered by the Planning Court at a hearing. This hearing will take place, it is hoped, before the end of 2021 after further documentation has been provided.
There is much more legal work to be done; this includes considering further documents and preparing for the hearing.
Thank you if you have already donated. To keep the court case running however, further donations are needed to cover the legal court fees. Donations from anyone who has not yet contributed to the costs of the case would be welcomed. Should any funds that are raised not be required ultimately (e.g., because the case is won, and the Council pays most of the costs), pro rata refunds will be made.
