Questão jurídica principal
Whether the neighbors had standing to appeal the building permit decision
Decisão extraída
They lacked standing because they were not specially affected by the project in the required way.

Their property was about 500 m away, no special visual impact was shown, expected noise was not disturbing, traffic increase was minimal and not perceptible, and the road-safety concerns did not create a special relationship to the dispute.
