Gloucester Resources Ltd v Minister for Planning (Rocky Hill Mine)

In a merits appeal against refusal of development consent for a coal mine, the project's direct and indirect (Scope 1, 2 and 3) greenhouse-gas emissions and their cumulative contribution to climate change are relevant considerations that can, together with planning, amenity, visual and social impacts, justify refusal - the mine here being in the 'wrong place' and approved at the 'wrong time'.
