Appeal of wind farm approval amendment dismissed as grounds related to matters outside Tribunal's jurisdiction.
The appellant appealed an amendment to a Renewable Energy Approval for a wind farm, which imposed stricter noise limits on a specific turbine.
The Director and the approval holder brought motions to dismiss the appeal without a hearing.
The Tribunal granted the motions, finding that the appellant's grounds and requested relief focused on the original approval and general compliance issues rather than the amendment itself.
As the Tribunal's jurisdiction is limited to reviewing the specific decision under appeal, the appeal related to matters outside its authority and had no reasonable prospect of success.
