Abstract

The local environment committee decided not to act following a complaint from a person about traffic noise.

fter an appeal to the County Administrative Board, the decision not to act on the complaint was set aside and the case was remanded to the local environment committee for an evaluation.

The question before the Land and Environment Court of Appeal was whether it was possible to appeal the decision by the County Administrative Board.

The Court came to the conclusion that it was not possible to appeal the decision since it had no impact on the case matter and does not contain a position regarding the subject matter of the case.
