High Court Challenge
In January 2008, a consortium of developers submitted a challenge to the Core Strategy to the High Court.  The challenge sought to quash two elements of the adopted Core Strategy.  The Council decided to contend the consortium's challenge and hearings were held at the High Court in October 2008.

The judge, Mr Justice Wilkie, found in favour of the consortium for both elements of the Core Strategy that were being sought to be quashed.  This version of the Core Strategy has been revised to reflect this decision.
