Legislator summary

The administrative court dismissed the neighbors' appeal against the environmental committee's decision to reject their objections. Although the committee had initially rejected the neighbors' claims, the plaintiff company withdrew its building permit application before the administrative court's review. Consequently, the court voided the environmental committee's decision and rejected the neighbors' request for cost reimbursement because the court did not examine the legality of the committee's original ruling or whether the administrative proceedings were caused by an official error.

A Oy haki lupaa rakennuksen käyttötarkoituksen muuttamiseksi. Rakennustarkastaja myönsi haetun luvan. Ympäristölautakunta hylkäsi naapurien oikaisuvaatimukset. Naapurit valittivat hallinto-oikeuteen vaatien ympäristölautakunnan ja rakennustarkastajan päätösten kumoamista sekä kunnan velvoittamista korvaamaan heidän oikeudenkäyntikulunsa hallinto-oikeudessa.

Valituksiin antamassaan vastineessa A Oy peruutti lupahakemuksensa. Tämän vuoksi hallinto-oikeus kumosi ympäristölautakunnan päätöksen ja hylkäsi hakemuksen.

Kumotessaan ympäristölautakunnan päätöksen lupahakemuksen peruuttamisen johdosta hallinto-oikeus ei tutkinut lautakunnan päätöksen oikeellisuutta eikä sitä, oliko oikeudenkäynti aiheutunut viranomaisen virheestä. Tämän vuoksi hallinto-oikeus hylkäsi myös naapurien oikeudenkäyntikuluvaatimuksen.
