Court of Appeal overturns High Court's decision to set aside an extension of time for the appellants to bring a judicial review application against An Bord Pleanála's grant of permission to a telecommunications company to erect a mast near their home, where the appellants raised concerns of bias and procedural irregularities, on the grounds that the public interest in the integrity of the planning process outweighed the commercial interests involved; and the court grants the appellants an extension of time to challenge the decision.
An Bord Pleanála - judicial review - extension of time - bias - procedural irregularities - Planning and Development Act 2000 - telecommunications mast - allocation of cases - statistical improbability - public interest - integrity of planning process - commercial interests - systemic failure - Eircom - High Court - Court of Appeal.
