At a Case Management Conference for appeals regarding a proposed livestock trailer washing facility, the Tribunal considered requests for party status.
The Tribunal denied party status to the Wanstead Concerned Citizens Group because it is an unincorporated entity and therefore not a 'person' under the Rules.
However, the Tribunal granted party status to Jessica Jessome, a directly affected neighbouring landowner, finding that her unique perspective and intended planning evidence would assist the Tribunal in adjudicating the appeals effectively.
Procedural directions and hearing dates were also set.
