The High Court refused an environmental advocacy group's application for leave to appeal to the Court of Appeal against a decision permitting a wind farm development. The court found that the group failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the board's assessment was flawed. The court also addressed a series of procedural complaints raised by the applicant, ultimately dismissing them as either not arising factually, being hypothetical, or not constituting points of law of public importance. The court emphasized the need for expeditious resolution of planning disputes, particularly in the context of climate emergency and renewable energy projects.
