No. 204, Mr. Justice Hall of the Court of Appeal referred to earlier authority which established: . . . it was a primary object of this legislation to provide that a developer contemplating a prospective development in a municipality should be entitled to proceed with its plans with some assurance that the rules of the game would not be changed midstream in the course of development.
