Woodbridge Newton Neighborhood Environmental Trust v. Connecticut Siting Council

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiff’s administrative appeal from approval of a telecommunications tower. It held that property values are not automatically a significant adverse effect that the Connecticut Siting Council must consider, although such evidence may be considered when shown relevant to environmental impact or an enumerated statutory effect. The court also held that substantial evidence supported the council’s selection of the proposed site over the plaintiff’s alternatives.
