Developers often prefer not to implement a planning permission or complete the purchase of a site until a period of at least three months has elapsed after the issue of planning permission. This is the period within which an aggrieved person may apply for judicial review. If it is shown that the planning permission was issued on an irrational or unfair basis, the courts can overturn it. Recent cases have indicated that applications for judicial review in planning cases must be made within six weeks (the period allowed for statutory challenges). Applications for judicial review must be made promptly. The risks do not disappear after six weeks but are lessened, and may developers still insist on waiting three months.
