Statement from South Oxfordshire District Council
The Council has received notification that The Honourable Mr Justice Dove has refused the application by Bioabundance CIC for permission to proceed with an application for judicial review against the Council’s decision to adopt the Local Plan 2035.
In refusing the application, the judge ordered Bioabundance CIC to pay the Council’s costs. Bioabundance CIC has an opportunity within seven days to ask for this decision to be reconsidered.
A spokesperson for South Oxfordshire District Council said, “We are pleased with this decision and that the Court has supported the democratic decision making processes within the Council.”
We will not be commenting further at this stage.
