Bracknell Forest Borough Council v Green and another [2009] EWCA Civ 238; [2009] WLR(D) 106
“Where a local housing authority claimed possession of a dwelling house under ground 16 in Sch 2 to the Housing Act 1985 (under-occupation), the suitability of the alternative accommodation offered was relevant to the question whether it was reasonable to make the possession order sought but was not determinative of it. Where the judge below had considered all the relevant circumstances the appellate court should be slow to upset his evaluation of the reasonableness of making a possession order unless it was clear that he had acted under an error of principle or his decision was obviously wrong.”

“When planning permission was granted for a change of use, a condition could be imposed which would have the effect of regulating the permission in order to control any future expansion of the use by way of intensification, and only if such a condition allowed intensification to the extent of there being a material change of use would it be unlawful; nor did the use of the term ‘static’ caravan render a condition void for uncertainty or contrary to the Secretary of State’s policy.
