Shortt and another v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and another

Town and country planning – Development. The Court of Appeal, Civil Division, dismissed the appellants' appeal, holding that the judge's construction of the meaning of 'dependants' in an agricultural occupancy condition attached to planning permission in respect of a dwelling at a farm had been correct. The condition had not imposed a requirement as to the continuing profitability of the business in which the agricultural worker was employed.
