Key legal question
Whether the appellants had standing to file an objection/appeal against the building permit.
Extracted holding
They failed to show the required special proximity and concrete impact from the project; standing was therefore denied.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that only the legality of the appellants' standing was before it, not the merits of the project. Their submissions did not address the lower court's reasoning and did not establish a particularized effect beyond the general public.
