Planning permission for 15 homes to be built on land kept for community use was quashed yesterday after a five-year battle.
The land in question is fenced off behind the hedge line at the back - local residents pictured are Marion Curtis , Sara Cornwall and Teddy Boy, with more campaigners at the back
"We will study the judgement carefully, in particular what this now means for the planning application which becomes undetermined when the quashing order is made," said the spokesman. "The terms of the Court Order by the Supreme Court have not been settled yet therefore we cannot comment with regard to costs," said the spokesman.
"Having commissioned the Redfern Report we have already apologised for that mistake and agreed to seek to return the land to public ownership. We have also adopted a much more rigorous policy to ensure that our mistake cannot occur again. That research, she said had been carried out by Dr Peter Day, a Greenfields resident, who had discovered that the land was covered by a statutory trust.
