A decision on developer Helioslough's planning appeal was due to be issued by the Secretary of State on or before 13 June, following an earlier delay by the Secretary of State to "consider the relevance" of the recently published National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
The High Court quashed the Secretary of State's decision to refuse permission to Helioslough's for its proposed freight interchange on 1 July 2011 and the Judge referred the matter back to the Secretary of State to re-determine.
St Albans City and District Council said it provided representations to the Secretary of State on the impact of the NPPF after the SoS delayed his decision the first time.
A letter was sent to the Council which stated that the SoS "had decided to delay his decision and invited further written representations on the relevance of the recently published National Planning Policy Framework," the Council said.
The decision was expected on 13 June, however the Council has now received a further letter from the SoS which states that this is no longer the case, the Council said. No new decision date has been set.
In its original decision on the freight interchange, the Council found that the proposed development would cause harm to the Green Belt and would be contrary to the Development Plan.
St Albans City and District Council had previously rejected two separate applications for the scheme, which dated back to 2007.
