This video recording dated 21 November 2016 analyses issues surrounding the Hastings planning framework and the Development Management Plan 2015 adopted by Hastings Borough Council. The recording references a dispute concerning planning information and expenditure connected with the plan-making process, reportedly involving £58,000 spent on what is described as a redundant planning cycle associated with Ticket 94041.
The analysis refers to the outcome of legal proceedings involving Martin Newbold and the Information Commissioner’s Office, determined by the First-tier Tribunal (Information Rights). The recording argues that despite the tribunal decision, questions remained unresolved regarding the council’s handling of the planning documentation and its refusal to explain aspects of the expenditure and decision-making process.
The commentary raises the issue of the legal principle of res judicata, asserting that the matter had already been judicially determined and should therefore not be reopened or treated inconsistently with the tribunal’s findings.
