Applicant: NN
Respondents: An Bord Pleanála, Ireland and the Attorney General
Notice parties: Bradán Beo Teoranta and Galway County Council
(a) Are member states required to characterise and subsequently classify all water bodies, irrespective of size, and in particular is there a requirement to characterise and classify all lakes with a topological surface area below 0,5 km²?
(b) To what extent is the position different with respect to water bodies in a protected area, if at all?
If the answer to question 1(a) is yes, can a competent authority for the purposes of development consent grant development consent for a project that may affect the water body prior to it being categorised and classified?
If the answer to question 1(a) is no, what are the obligations on a competent authority when deciding upon an application for development consent that potentially affects a water body not characterised and/or classified?
