The Planning Court’s ruling is tightly tied to the particular facts. The issue arose because a change to the green belt policy within a local plan—introduced to mirror the recommendations of an inspector undertaking an independent examination—was not translated onto the adopted proposals map. The map failed to reflect the inspector-led modification carried through the plan-making process, leaving a mismatch between policy text and mapping outputs. That said, the judgment usefully reiterates that an adopted policies map is not a development plan document for the purposes of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 (PCPA 2004).

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
