St Albans council is challenging the Secretary of State’s decision to allow a new rail freight interchange on the old Radlett aerodrome on three points of law. The first is concerned with the legality of his approach in taking his decision.
The second ground for appeal relates to the misapplication of wording in the National Planning Policy Framework, and the third ground for challenge relates to “procedural irregularity and inconsistency” on the rail freight interchange decision.
The council considers that the proposed rail freight interchange at this site will be harmful to the District’s Green Belt.
