High Court discharges the leave previously granted to an individual challenging the validity of planning and development regulations which facilitate housing for international protection seekers and displaced persons, on a general and abstract basis without reference to a specific development. The court found that while the applicant identified a potentially arguable point regarding the reasonableness of the regulations, the challenge was not grounded in the context of a specific development or proposed development, lacked appropriate factual averments, and did not meet the requirements for standing or timeliness. Consequently, the leave was set aside, but the court's decision does not preclude the applicant from seeking similar relief in future properly constituted proceedings.
