Questão jurídica principal
Whether the project was to be treated under ordinary environmental law or railway noise-remediation special legislation.
Decisão extraída
The works are a non-essential modification of an existing railway installation; the railway noise-remediation special legislation applies.
Fundamentação extraída
The added third track only modifies a pre-1985 approved railway line, and the relevant emissions are already covered by the Emissions Plan 2015; therefore the change is not essential within the meaning of the LSV.
