Greater Anglia station car park row goes to High Court in ‘national test case’ over planning law

A row over a station car park – which includes a retaining wall compared to the Berlin Wall - is set to be heard in the High Court in what’s been described as a national test case about building projects in rural areas.

Dedham Vale Society (DVS) in Essex is contesting the Planning Inspectorate’s decision to not let Tendring District Council take enforcement action against Greater Anglia (GA) over the car park extension at Manningtree station.
