Barbara Laing, who lives near the site, said it had taken six years and thousands of pounds of her own money to prevent the original scheme after launching a judicial review.
“The biggest issue we had was the hedges. They are afforded protection – the planning permission did not take that into account.
“So we felt it was right to test the law. We took it to judicial review and we won.”
She feared challenging it in a similar version would be harder to do under changes contained in the government’s Planning and Infrastructure Bill.
“The first one is probably clause nine and that relates to access to a judicial review. The idea with the bill is that they limit that access,” Ms Laing said.
“And two, they intend to remove site-specific ecological surveys, which means we wouldn’t have known what was on site and what required protection. So it leaves us far less protection than we had in the past,” she argued.
