High Court written judgement on Backdale
2 April 2008
A 2007 public inquiry upheld the Peak District National Park Authority's enforcement notice at Backdale. But an appeal in the High Court (February 2008) by landowner Bleaklow Industries Ltd was allowed.
The judge did not accept the Planning Inspector's decision, and did not agree with either the Inspector's or the National Park Authority's interpretation of the original 1952 planning permission.
