Justice prevails! West Lindsey District Council secures the green light for a judicial review of Home Office's plans for RAF Scampton. Will this spell victory for the community?
West Lindsey District Council has been granted approval to apply for a judicial review of the Home Office's plans for RAF Scampton.
The review is being carried out on the grounds that the government was incorrect to rely on the Environmental Impact Assessment screening decision and Class Q planning permission. "That is on the fundamental issues of whether it is right to utilise Class Q and have they [the Home Office] followed the appropriate environmental screening requirements.
The project was expected to create thousands of high-skilled jobs in the area. However, there is now a growing concern that investors may redirect their resources elsewhere if the government's plans are executed. "Obviously, it’s a technical case within planning law and statutory powers of the Home Office. But, we’re glad that the High Court is interested in scrutinising some of the aspects that we’re concerned with, particularly Class Q and emergency powers, and whether these were invoked correctly."The aviation and space specialist concluded with an encouraging message to investors and concerned residents:"Do not give up hope, I believe we will prevail in this matter.
"However, as we have seen at other large sites across the country and in particular at Wethersfield, the Home Office is continuing to press ahead with its plans to use larger sites for asylum accommodation.
