Smith v. Pittwater Council País/Territorio Australia Fecha Apr 29, 2024 Fuente UNEP, InforMEA Nombre del tribunal Land and Environment Court Sede de la corte New South Wales Número de referencia [2013] NSWLEC 1145 Resumen A landowner appealed a local council’s refusal of a planning permit in Australian state court. The council had found that the proposed development would not ensure adequate safety from flood risks given increased flood levels from climate change. Allowing the use of more conservative risk estimates than those employed by the council, the court found that the risk was not sufficient to warrant rejection as long as the permit was subject to certain flood planning conditions.Key environmental legal questions:Appeal refusal of planning permit Texto completo climatecasechart.com
