Ms Rachel Minch:

Some people would have different views as to whether that ought to be fixed. Perhaps the Supreme Court judgment in the Grace and Sweetman case is helpful there in the sense that it generally indicates that if you have proximity to the development or if you have participated in the process, that will give you general standing. Then there is some quite mature or developed case law around whether you might be able to raise new points at a later stage. If you wanted to make it simple, I suppose you could say that prior participation in the process would confer standing to challenge a decision and that is the general understanding of the Grace and Sweetman judgment in the Supreme Court at present.
