High Court has dismissed a lay litigant's application to overturn a planning permission decision for a 32-unit apartment block development, affirming the respondent's decision. The court found the applicant's additional grounds of challenge, which included alleged deficiencies in considering waste disposal and the development's impact on the area, to be without substance. The court also noted that the applicant, as a lay litigant, had adopted arguments from a related case, which had been already addressed in a previous judgment. The court emphasized that the applicant's general assertions did not constitute legal errors that could invalidate the decision.
