High Court upholds a decision of the Planning Appeals Board dismissing a limestone quarry's application for substitute consent, ruling that the application, which only covered a portion of the quarry, was incomplete and failed to provide adequate environmental impact information, and consequently, the Board was unable to assess the potential impacts of the proposed quarry extension, leading to the refusal of further development; and the quarry's argument that only one part required consent was rejected, as the entire quarry was always intended to be the subject of the application.
Planning Appeals Board - limestone quarry - substitute consent - environmental impact assessment (EIA) - appropriate assessment (AA) - section 37L - Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) - Natura Impact Statement (NIS) - remedial EIA (rEIA) - remedial NIS (rNIS) - entire quarry - development intensification - EU directives - Environmental Impact Assessment Directive - Habitats Directive - judicial review - certiorari - proper planning and sustainable development - refusal of application - fair procedures - legitimate expectations.
