Mr. Paul Hogan:

It is important to recognise that judicial review is intended to be of the procedures that takes place to ensure matters are correct, fair and transparent, etc. It could be a relatively minor thing, for example, something to do with a traffic study that has no great bearing on the outcome of the decision. There are many reasons. As the Chairman said, planning applications are very complex things. There is much scope for minor error. It is not unreasonable that there would be some mechanism to revert and not throw out months, if not years, of work and investment. That is reasonable.
