Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants had standing to challenge the wind farm planning decisions
Decisão extraída
The appellants were not sufficiently specially affected; their alleged risks were too remote and speculative to confer standing.
Fundamentação extraída
Standing requires a concrete, practical and personal interest, usually linked to spatial proximity in building cases. At distances well beyond 1,000 meters, the court found no relevant nexus for noise, infrasound, water pollution, landslide risk, landscape impact, or taxpayer exposure.
