For further information and explanation of the above terms, please contact Tricia Harcourt Tel 01 18 974 6091 Email [email protected] Statement on the Human Rights Act 1998
The Human Rights Act 1998 was brought into force in this country on 2"d October 2000 and it will now, subject to certain exceptions, be directly unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right. In particular, Article 8 (respect for private and family life) and Article 1 of Protocol 1 (peaceful enjoyment of property) apply to planning decisions. When a planning decision is to be made however, there is further provision that a public authority must take into account the public interest. In the vast majority of cases existing planning law has for many years demanded a balancing exercise between private rights and public interest and therefore much of this authority's decision making will continue to take into account this balance.
The Human Rights Act will not be referred to in the Officer's report for individual applications beyond this general statement, unless there are exceptional circumstances which demand more careful and sensitive consideration of Human Rights issues.
