will say what the points were later. It is sufficient for me to say now that I did not consider the interests of justice required that the council should be allowed to pursue them on this application” (671 at g) -h)) 115. The same point about the significance of factual inquiry was made in Trustees of the Barker Mill Estates v Test Valley Borough Council [2016] EWHC 3028: “77 In an application for statutory review of a planning decision there is no absolute bar on the raising of a point which was not taken before the inspector or decision-maker. But it is necessary to examine the nature of the new point sought to be raised in the context of the process which was followed up to the decision challenged to see whether the claimant should be allowed to argue it. For example, one factor which weighs strongly against allowing a new point to be argued in the High Court is that if it had been raised in the earlier inquiry or appeal process, it would have been necessary for further evidence to be produced and/or additional factual findings or judgments to be made by the inspector, or alternatively participants would have had the opportunity to adduce evidence or make submissions (or the inspector might have called for more information…” (Holgate J) 116. Turning to the facts and circumstance of the present case. 117. Firstly, as per the stipulation of Holgate J in Trustees of Barker Mills, I have examined the nature of the point raised and I have concluded that, in my judgment, the 1900 Act is a material consideration because of the impediment it presents to delivery of the Memorial in Victoria Tower Gardens and the importance attached by the Inspector to the delivery of the Memorial in the lifetime of Holocaust survivors. In South Oxfordshire, the Judge identified the omission of a material consideration as a scenario in which the Inspector’s decision could be rendered unlawful notwithstanding that the point had not been raised in representations. 118. Secondly, the point was raised at the inquiry. It was raised by Mr Gerhold. The Inspector’s decision letter records that 131 written representations were received at the appeal stage. He summarises the representations including the following: “These changes would breach the condition of the donation of £1,000 made by the benefactor W H Smith in 1879, that the land was kept a made by the benefactor W H Smith in 1879, that the land was kept as a garden for the use of the inhabitants of Westminster. It would be in direct contravention of the 1900 Act under which the land was to be used as a park in perpetuity. (12.15)” 42
