SoS cancels direction to call in Blandford planning application

Secretary of State cancels direction to call in planning application for 490 homes in Blandford (P/OUT/2020/00026)

Our North Dorset Group received notification on 24th July that the Secretary of State (SoS) has decided to cancel the call-in. The issues we raised to the SoS were of national significance, such as protection of protected landscapes and upholding of the principles of Neighbourhood Plans, so sad to see them swept under the carpet. We do not think there is anything we can do about this, we are not considering a Judicial Review. Overall a sad day for local democracy.
