Leave to appeal refused because none of the proposed questions of law met the s144 threshold of sufficient general or public importance: s9(8) plainly restricts RMA control of overflying aircraft (so effects above specified heights lie outside RMA consent control), the permitted baseline approach applied by the Environment Court was lawful and endorsed by appellate commentary, and alternative site inquiries are only required where s6 matters or significant adverse effects arise.
