HelioSlough’s plans for the 3m sq ft Radlett rail freight distribution centre are back on track after Eric Pickles decided not to appeal a High Court ruling.
After a three-day hearing earlier this month, a High Court judge ordered a rethink on planning rejections from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and St Albans district council.
The district council initially refused the plans, but then HelioSlough won approval through appeal. However, that was then overruled by Pickles.
St Albans district council and the Secretary of State have now they said will not appeal the latest High Court ruling.
The decision means HelioSlough’s plans will now be referred back to the Secretary of State for re-examination.
