A High Court judge who needed to be told the rules of cricket has now blocked a development near an East Hampshire cricket ground.
Mrs Justice Beverley Lang, who asked what was meant by ‘fours’ and ‘sixes’ during the hearing, has overturned the council’s grant of planning permission for an extension and residential flat over East Meon Forge, a former blacksmith’s workshop near the perimeter of the village cricket ground.
She ruled that anyone in the flat would be vulnerable and the club would be liable for damage.
