IMPORTANT RULING.
UNDER TOWN PLANNING 'ACT. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 26. A decision in favour of the Auckland City Council was given by Mr Justice Callan in the matter of an originating summons to declare an interpretation of the provisions of the Town Planning Act, 1926, in- its relation to an application by the New Zealand Breweries, Ltd., to the Auckland City Council for a permit to build a new malthouse on property fronting Seccombe’s. Road and the refusal of a permit by the city council under the powers vested in it by Section 34 of the Town Planning Act, 1926, and its amendments. Mr James (Wellington) argued the case for plaintiff company and Mr Stanton for defendant council. The question put to the Court was whether the Auckland City Council, having failed to prepare and submit to the Town Planning Board by January 1, 1937, a town-planing scheme as required by the Act, had power at any time after the date mentioned to refuse consent to the erection of any building upon the ground that the council deemed the erection of such building would be in contravention of a scheme if it had been completed and approved.
