In "R v SoS for the Environment and others ex parte Greenpeace Ltd and another", QBD 4 March 1994, it was held that authorisations for the discharge of radioactive waste were lawfully granted without a local inquiry, since all the economic, health and environmental issues had been rationally considered by the minister who, having balanced that detriment and benefit arising from the authorisations, concluded that the authorised emissions were justified as producing a benefit.
