R (on the application of Champion) v North Norfolk District Council and another [2015] UKSC 52, [2015] All ER (D) 233 (Jul)

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by the appellant against the decision by the Court of Appeal, that the judge hearing the appellant’s judicial review claim had wrongly decided that the relevant committee of the respondent local authority had been correct in its conclusion that there had been no relevant risk requiring appropriate assessment or an environmental impact assessment in relation to a proposed development by an interested party which could have led to the pollution of a nearby river which was a special area of conservation.
