Question juridique clé
Whether the neighbor had standing to challenge the building permit and whether the Federal Court should review the dismissal of the evidence request.
Solution extraite
The neighbor’s standing was not shown to be arbitrary, and the refusal to hold an on-site inspection did not violate the right to be heard.
Motifs extraits
The neighbor had a sufficiently close relationship to the site and a specific interest in core-zone protection. The visible connection to the parcel was enough; further seasonal detail would not change the assessment, so additional evidence could be refused in anticipatory appreciation.
