Date set for Hemley Hill judicial review into Travellers' site - Bucks

TRAVELLERS who appealed against a decision to move them off a site at Hemley Hill will take their case to judicial review next month.

The Travellers moved onto the site near Princes Risborough in Easter 2009, when Wycombe District Council got a High Court injunction banning further work on the site.

This was followed by an enforcement notice at the beginning of September 2009, giving them six months to leave, which the travellers appealed against.

The appeals were taken to a public inquiry in July and August 2010 and in December of the same year the planning inspector dismissed the appeal, giving them 18 months to leave.

It was in January of last year that Mrs Kathleen Murphy appealed against the planning inspector's decision, which was then lodged for judicial review.

The hearing will now be at The Administrative Court at The Royal Courts of Justice, London on March 14. The appeal decisions have been put on hold until the outcome of the judicial review is known.
