Status: Application dismissed
Case Categories:
  • Suits against governments
    • Environmental assessment and permitting
      • Other projects
Jurisdictions:
  • United Kingdom
    • England and Wales
      • High Court of Justice
Principal Laws:
  • United Kingdom
    • Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (England and Wales)
Summary:

The court upheld the grant of planning permission for a project which included a pre-case concrete manufacturing facility. A local resident challenged the district council’s decision, citing failure to consider the adverse impacts of the proposed facility on climate change, in particular, from carbon dioxide emissions. The court held that the omission of the effect of concrete production on climate change had not been raised in time, and in any case, did not render the Environmental Statement deficient.

At Issue: Sought judicial review of local authority's grant of planning permission to a developer.
