Issue

Did the Court of Appeal err in finding that when determining the development for which planning permission could reasonably have been expected to be granted in relation land, the decision maker is not entitled to take into account applications or decisions relating to other land arising from the compulsory acquisition of land for the same underlying scheme.

Facts

In 2018, the Secretary of State for Transport compulsorily acquired four contiguous sites for the construction of a new rail station in Birmingham. Each of the landowners applied to Birmingham City Council for a certificate of appropriate alternative development. The Council considered each of the applications in isolation. Appeals were lodged in respect of all four applications. The Upper Tribunal directed that it would determine a preliminary issue in all four appeals at a single hearing. Following judgment from the Upper Tribunal, the Secretary of State appealed to the Court of Appeal. The Secretary of State now seeks permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
