Questione giuridica chiave
Which procedure is available to a third party who was not heard before a forest-distance exception was granted but is affected in protected interests?
Decisione estratta
Such a third party should be able to request revocation of the permit under the general revocation rules, with the authority obliged to consider the request; the request is not confined to the narrow reopening conditions for new facts and evidence.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that a person affected in protected interests and excluded from the original permit procedure should not be limited to reconsideration under the reopening provision. A revocation request under the general amendment/revocation provision is the more appropriate route, subject still to the usual substantive limits on revocation.
