On the Case: Running up that Hillside

Jess Harrold is joined by Stuart Andrews, partner and head of planning at Eversheds Sutherland, to discuss the Supreme Court's decision in Hillside Parks Ltd v Snowdonia National Park Authority [2022] UKSC 30; [2022] PLSCS 177  – a case concerning the relationship between successive grants of planning permission for development on the same land.

Andrews outlines the facts of the case and how the Supreme Court decided it, before going on to address the significant implications for developers of multi-unit and multi-phase schemes.

In addition, he addresses the options available for developers looking to retain the ability to make changes to extensive schemes mid-delivery, in the wake of the Hillside decision.
