The court held the EIA Report sufficiently complied with clause 3.3.3 of the Study Brief read with TM Annexes 11 and 20 because it identified and considered the two approved planning applications, adopted a reasonable worst‑case scenario, and provided adequate comparisons with the project and the likely future baseline; accordingly the Director lawfully approved the EIA Report under s8(3) and granted the environmental permit under s10; leave to apply for judicial review was granted but the substantive application was dismissed.
