Dovers Corner decision
The Council has announced that it will not be challenging the Secretary of State’s decision to allow the Weston Homes’ development on Dovers Corner in Rainham. Councillor Michael White, Leader of the Council, said: “Along with the vast majority of local people we have always opposed this development which in our view represents a gross overdevelopment of the site. We have been advised by our lawyers that we only have a very limited chance of getting this decision quashed by the High Court and with great regret, we have decided that we cannot justify taking legal action.”
This is very disappointing but the Council can't justify spending council taxpayers money on an appeal we have no chance of winning.
