Caravan owner to dispute court decision

The High Court ruling denied authorisation to keep three caravans at the site

A man has been given permission to refute a decision that saw him lose his planning consent to site a number of mobile homes on land in Colney Heath in Hertfordshire.

Peter Robb will challenge the High Court ruling that stripped him of his authorisation to keep three caravans at the site.

According to the Herts Advertiser, the traveller had been living at Nuckies Farm, but lost his five-year permission thanks to a ruling from deputy judge Tim Corner.

However, he is set to appeal in the hope of having the decision overturned, despite the deputy judge ruling that the inspector who granted the initial planning consent had failed to take into consideration the environmental impact of the caravans.

A new hearing is to take place with a different inspector, where Mr Robb hopes to have his permission renewed.
