The Planning Authority has appealed a court judgment awarding €331,295 in compensation for discrimination to landowners denied a permit to develop a garden centre, on land where construction magnate Charles Polidano later was awarded a PA permit for a supermarket in 2007.
The court found a “clear case of distinct treatment”, ruling that the original landowners had been prejudiced by the PA’s preferential behaviour after hearing that within a year, Polidano acquired the land and obtained a supermarket permit which he sold to the Lidl supermarket chain for three times the price he had originally paid.
