Herefordshire Council recently denied S&A Produce planning permission for the project, at Brierley, near Leominster, despite work being well under way.
Justice Roderick Evans extended the injunction ahead of a full hearing when the council will apply for the total removal of building works already under way at the 200-acre former hop farm. But he added that the company could well be successful on appeal.
S&A's plans aroused widespread objection from some local residents including celebrity gardener Monty Don. He said the farm complex including 300 mobile homes, a doctor’s surgery, cinema, disco, sauna, gym, internet café, library and pool - would be a blight on the landscape.
Justice Roderick Evans said: “S&A had indulged in what can only be described as a flagrant, determined and cynical breach of planning procedures.”
