Thornfield Roadside Ltd v Secretary of State for the Environment and another

Article Abstract:

A UK legal case involved a request for planning permission for a service area following the realignment of a highway. Permission was not granted since drivers already had enough facilities and there were restrictions on building in the countryside. The applicants had promised that they would not start building until the road works had been carried out, but the request for planning permission was seen as premature. The applicants' appeal was refused.
