Judgment_paragraph 36 · North East Pylon Pressure Campaign Limited and Maura Sheehy v An Bord Pleanála and Others (C-470/16)

36In that regard, it should be noted that it is clear from the very wording of Article 11(1) of Directive 2011/92 that the challenges covered by the protection against prohibitive expense are those directed against the decisions, acts or omissions ‘subject to the public participation provisions of this Directive’. A literal interpretation of that provision thus indicates that its scope is limited to costs relating only to the aspects of a dispute which concern the public’s right to participate in decision-making in accordance with the detailed rules laid down by the directive.
