Question juridique clé
Whether the reduced 2008 gravel-pit project required a new public inquiry
Solution extraite
No. The modifications were not essential enough to make the revised project a new project; the prior inquiry and the cantonal appeal proceedings cured any hearing defect.
Motifs extraits
The revised project reduced volume and impacts, moved the extraction front farther from the EMS, and could be reviewed fully on the record before the cantonal court.
