Dale Farm - judge says council's enforcement plans too wide

Just been reading the judgment given by the judge hearing the arguments in the High Court about whether the Dale Farm evictions can go ahead. Basically he ruled that what Basildon Council intended to do by way of demolition (gates, walls etc) goes beyond what is set out in the enforcement notices served on the travellers between 2002 and 2004. The complexity is around the relationship between stuff built on the hard-standing that was the subject of the enforcement notices. Caravans are a different issue.

So a further hearing this week and maybe more detailed enforcement notices may have to be re-issued - who knows. As always, the devil is in the detail.
