Neighbourhood planning has been boosted after a developer withdrew a legal challenge.
Gladman Developments had challenged the making of Winslow’s neighbourhood plan, which was drawn up by Aylesbury Vale DC in September.
Susan Kitchen, of the council’s development management department, said: ‘This is fantastic news for the residents of Winslow.
‘A huge amount of work went into drawing up the plan by the Winslow community and the withdrawal of this challenge removes any doubt over the status of the plan when making decisions on planning applications in the area it covers.
‘Although we were confident that the Court of Appeal would dismiss this latest challenge to the plan, Gladman’s decision to drop the action is very welcome.
‘We will be pursuing the recovery of our legal costs, where permitted.’
