High Court refuses an application for leave to appeal its previous judgment in planning and development proceedings, determining that the applicant did not raise any points of law of exceptional public importance. The court found that the applicant's disagreements with the court's findings in the substantive judgment did not meet the stringent criteria required for an appeal under statute. The court also noted that the applicant's grounds of appeal did not demonstrate any matter that warranted resolution in the public interest through an appeal.
