Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's appeal regarding the jurisdiction over a shooting range environmental permit. Although the applicant argued that significant environmental impacts extended beyond the municipality, the court found the Environmental Protection Act's allocation of authority between the municipality and the regional board to be exhaustive. Consequently, the court ruled that the municipal environmental protection board retained the exclusive right to decide on the permit.

Ympäristönsuojeluasetuksen 5 ja 7 §:ssä on ympäristönsuojelulain 31 §:n 4 momentin valtuutussäännöksen nojalla tyhjentävästi säädetty toimivallan jaosta lupaviranomaisten kesken.

Koska ampuraradan ympäristöluvat on ympäristönsuojeluasetuksella säädetty kunnan ympäristönsuojelulautakunnassa ratkaistavaksi, lupahakemusta ei voitu siirtää aluehallintoviraston ratkaistavaksi sillä perusteella, että sijaintipaikasta johtuen sen vaikutukset kohdistuisivat huomattavassa määrin sijaintikuntaa laajemmalle alueelle.
