Today VeraCityBath Limited (VCB) announced that it has launched judicial review proceedings with regard to the controversial Bath Transportation Package. The filed application is against the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government with B&NES Council as an interested party.
VCB believes the Secretary of State should have called for a public inquiry into the planning applications for a new park and ride in Batheaston and the joint application for an extension to the Newbridge park and ride and the bus rapid transit route.
A judge has awarded VCB an interim protected costs order to limit its liability against costs up until the case is considered by the judge, when it will seek an extension to the order.
Leading public law experts Harrison Grant and Nathalie Lieven QC and David Blundell of counsel, are representing VCB.
We will keep you informed of progress.
