Mageean v Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government and others [2010] WLR (D) 209
“The validity of a screening direction made by the Secretary of State under reg 6 of the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) (England and Wales) Regulations 1999 is not limited to two years but a planning inspector should refer the matter back to the Secretary of State where there has been a change of circumstance which could affect the decision.”

“An applicant for accommodation could establish a priority need under the Housing Act 1996 because a dependent child was residing with her, where the dependent child was an European Economic Area national from abroad, even though the child did not have a permanent right to reside but was subject to immigration control, but the housing authority’s duty was then the restricted duty provided for under s 193(7AA) of the 1996 Act as amended. Under either the amended or unamended provisions the duty would have been the full duty had the dependent child had a right of permanent residence in the United Kingdom. Moreover, a failure by the host member state to enforce the removal of the dependent child after three months did not graduate by waiver to her acquiring a permanent right to residence.”
