Lord Kingsland, QC, is saying in his legal advice that "the scale of compensation that would flow from his (Secretary of State) decision is not a factor that he entitled to take into account in reaching his conclusion" because the financial losses or gains are not material planning considerations. Also, it is not considered appropriate for the adjudicator who is the Council to take its own pecuniary gains or losses into consideration when making a decision to grant or revoke the planning consent.

Why the original planning consent or the public health issues including the new evidence of the devastating impact on the health of the residents of Slough and beyond, the incinerators will have, were not considered as part of the revocation process?
