The High Court has refused leave to seek judicial review of planning permission obtained by a Golf Club for the construction of a roof over six driving bays. The adjacent landowner, also a member of the Golf Club, contested the decision on multiple grounds, including alleged breaches of planning law and personal rights under the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The court found no substantial grounds for contending that the decision was invalid, emphasising that the planning permission pertained solely to the structure over the driving bays and not the landing area of the practice ground. The court also dismissed claims of bias, perjury, and public health concerns as unfounded, concluding that the application was motivated by the landowner's desire to change the orientation of the practice area, a matter outside the scope of judicial review.
