High Court dismisses an application for leave to appeal a decision regarding the planning board's treatment of wind energy development guidelines and environmental impact assessments. The applicant sought further clarification following a Supreme Court judgment that had already addressed the guidelines' application. The High Court found that the applicant failed to establish any unreasonableness in the board's assessment and that the questions proposed for appeal were based on non-factual premises, were impermissibly vague, or did not arise in the present case. The court emphasised the public interest in renewable energy projects and the need to avoid further delays, reinforcing the decision with EU law and national policy. The application for leave to appeal was denied, and the final order was to be perfected with no further listing.
