R ( Williams ) v CYNGOR GWENT ( 2025 ) EWHC 2395 ( Admin ) concerns whether a planning decision had been made on a mistaken basis and whether the Officers Report and the accompanying documents were materially misleading. This was addressed at paras 35-45 inc. At paras 37 & 38 the Judge said that when considering that question “ account is to be taken of the readership “. Those to whom a Report is addressed are not planning lawyers nor planning consultants. The adequacy of the explanations contained in a Report are to be considered against the background of the local and other knowledge that readers will have.
