High Court grants an order quashing the decision by a local authority to adopt a county development plan, but limited to certain portions of the county, on the grounds that the authority had failed to comply with the legislative requirement that the county development plan be consistent with the national planning framework, in terms of the relevant population projections.
Judicial review - planning and development - change of development policy by local authority - 'developer-led' approach - draft county development plan - adoption of plan in November 2021 - application to quash adoption of plan - whether council had failed to adopt a valid strategic environmental assessment - whether costs provisions of Section 50B of the Planning and Development Act 2000 as amended, and / or Sections 3 and 4 of the Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2011, and / or Article 9 of the Aarhus Convention applied to proceedings.
