Key legal question
Whether the appellant had standing as a road user and nearby landowner to challenge the building permit.
Extracted holding
No. The appellant was not particularly affected beyond other users of the public road, and the alleged traffic increase or emissions were too remote and unspecified.
Extracted reasoning
The road served a broad circle of users; the projected traffic increase was insignificant; the plant was about 600 m away; a private appellant must show a close, particular, and protectable link to the object of the dispute.
