§ Mr. WaldegraveThe inspector's decision dated 22 February 1985 was quashed by the High Court on 28 January 1986 on the basis that the inspector erred in failing to consider the evidence and argument as to the need for the proposed sports complex. The matter was referred back to the Secretary of State for redetermination and a further local inquiry has been arranged for 10 February 1987 before a fresh inspector.
