High Court refuses leave to appeal a decision upholding a decision of the planning board granting planning permission for a waste recycling facility, on the grounds that: (1) the judgment did not raise a point of law of exceptional public importance; and (2) there was an issue of justice raised, whereby the notice party may lose the benefit of planning permission due to the efflux of time caused by legal proceedings.
Court refused application for relief in respect of a decision to grant planning permission for a waste recycling facility – applicant’s application for leave to appeal – questions of law of exceptional public importance arise – s.50A(7) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 – decision in respect of an application for leave shall be final – exercised sparingly – point of law must arise out of a decision of the High Court – not from discussion or consideration of a point of law during the hearing – exceptional public importance and desirable in the public interest require separate consideration – must show point is one of public importance and where there is a degree of legal uncertainty – more than one referable to the individual facts of a case – submitted by the applicant that in deciding the word in the condition of the planning permission which was clearly a typographical error – the court had found that there was an error on the face of the record in respect of which it had not granted certiorari and that raised a point of law of exceptional public importance and it was in the public interest that it be determined on appeal – Court does not agree that a point of law of exceptional public importance was involved in resolving the issue – issue in relation to the wording raised for the first time in reply to counsel for the respond.
