These can be highly complex matters that take a great deal of time and money to unravel, even assuming, which is often not the case, that adequate local authorities exist. If there was a trust, and if there was inadequate advertising, the purchaser is simply left with land that it cannot develop. In the light of the recent Supreme Court judgment, the problems are even more troubling when the land has already been developed and, perhaps, sold on. The reality the Government need to understand—if I may respectfully say so—is that the judgment of the Supreme Court in Day is being used around the country by those opposed to development as a means to delay investment in much-needed infrastructure. As with the Wimbledon development, they are doing so irrespective of the fact that planning permission has been granted.
