Council Building Permit Upheld Against Spatial Planning and Solar Access Challenge

Petitioners challenged a building permit for a service road, which was granted by the local council despite objections concerning the project's conformity with the spatial development plan, specifically regarding the designation of the area for other uses and the impact on neighboring properties' solar access. The court upheld the decision, reasoning that the local council had adequately considered the relevant planning documents, correctly interpreted the conditions for permitting alternative uses, and reasonably assessed the issue of solar access by acknowledging the existing structure's temporary nature and the impossibility of enforcing a complete protection against shadowing under the circumstances.
