Section 20 Cases Decided in and Around Poole
| Development | Case | What the tribunal decided, and why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| The Pinnacle, 25 to 27 Banks Road, Sandbanks | CHI/00HP/LDC/2023/0074 18 September 2023 | Dispensation is administratively unforgiving. The application was struck out for failure to comply with directions: it was unsigned, no written authority was provided for the representative, and there was no confirmation that respondents had been served or that reply forms had been received. The directions said in bold that failure would mean strike out without further notice. Diarise every date and confirm service in writing. |
| Imperial Heights, 105 Lilliput Road, Canford Cliffs | CHI/00HP/LDC/2024/0117 14 August 2024 | A long term agreement, not major works. Any communal energy contract over twelve months costing more than £100 per leaseholder a year triggers consultation, which is impossible to run against a volatile energy market. Dispensation obtained in advance, framed to cover a range of contract lengths from two to five years, is the workable answer and the tribunal granted it for a small management company. |
