- High Court
Council's decision to process the application on a non-notified basis and grant consent was lawful: the omission in the applicant's AEE was effectively compensated by contemporaneous material (neighbour's planner's letter) that identified the neighbours' concerns; the Council independently and adequately applied the permitted baseline and assessed effects beyond it as less than minor; relevant ODP and PDP provisions and transport issues were considered; decision was not unreasonable; judicial review dismissed.
