CommentsDCC rejected the applications 7 October 2010 on the ground that the maps that had accompanied the applications had been by computer generated enlargements of Ordnance Survey (OS) maps drawn to a scale of 1:50,000 and not by maps drawn to a scale of not less than 1:25,000. The respondents' application for judicial review was dismissed by the Administrative Court but the appeal was allowed by the Court of Appeal , Civil Division 23/4/13. In dismissing the authority's appeal, the Supreme Court (heard 15/1/2015) held that a map which accompanied an application, and was presented at a scale of no less than 1:25,000, satisfied the requirement in para1(a) of Sch14 of the of being 'drawn to the prescribed scale' in circumstances where it had been digitally derived from an original map with a scale of 1:50,000 - judgment on 18/3/2015. Committee refused application. Applicant appealed. PINS refused appeal 31/7/2020
