Relevant legal principles
11. The court's power to grant injunctions is wide-ranging and is derived from the Senior Courts Act 1981, section 37(1), which provides:
"(1) The High Court may by order (whether interlocutory or final) grant an injunction or appoint a receiver in all cases in which it appears to the court to be just and convenient to do so."
12. The Town and Country Planning Act 1990, section 187B provides:
" 187B Injunctions restraining breaches of planning control
(1) Where a local planning authority consider it necessary or expedient for any actual or apprehended breach of planning control to be restrained by injunction, they may apply to the court for an injunction, whether or not they have exercised or are proposing to exercise any of their other powers under this Part. (2) On an application under subsection (1) the court may grant such an injunction as the court thinks appropriate for the purpose of restraining the breach.
(3) Rules of court may provide for such an injunction to be issued against a person whose identity is unknown.
(4) In this section 'the court' means the High Court or the county court."
