Yes. Although according to TLERA, no-one should worry as the neighbour would have to have serious misgivings about the business, enough to risk 'substantial amounts of money' in order to contest it.

But that's not true. As we have seen in this case, it is only the business that is footing the legal bill. Objectors freely carry on with a no win, no fee agreement. And there is a 'tame' local barrister who will happily take on such work, it seems.

If I ran a business not 'on the list' on the estate, I'd be getting very nervous right now.
