Environmental statements and climate change impact – [1] Dissent in the Court of Appeal

In this episode of the Planning Podcast, Richard Kimblin QC is joined by Harj Narulla to help listeners get to grips with a tricky set of issues: what is an EIA project?; in what way do climate change effects have to be taken into account in an ES?; and what can lawfully be left out of account? The case of Finch helps with these questions and we are guided through that judgment, which was decided 2:1 – so, a case giving rise to dissent.
