Council bosses have quashed permission for the £15m Queensway Gateway road to be built, it has been announced today (Monday, June 22).
A judicial review into the original permission, which was granted by the authority in February, was due to be heard on Thursday and Friday this week at the High Court in London.
Kevin Boorman, spokesman for Hastings Borough Council, said: “The High Court has already ruled that the majority of Mr Carlyle’s arguments are misconceived.
“However, we do accept that the report which went to our planning committee in respect of the Queensway Gateway road did not draw committee members’ attention to the policy regarding air quality. It should have done, and we apologise for this omission.
“We do not think that it is in the interests of local council taxpayers for us to continue lengthy and potentially costly legal debate and so we have agreed to reconsider the scheme again at a further planning committee meeting.
