[Massplanners] Precedent, Previous Decisions, and Problems

[Douglas Finn]

A little alliteration, if you'll allow it...

So, a special permit, granted by a SPGA (say) ten years back, was never
acted upon by the owner (no work commenced).  The SP expired.

Now, same owner, same lot, same proposed purpose.  Current SPGA finds
reasons to deny.

Does the previous SP decision factor in? or is the new application and
deliberation 'de novo'?

Specific case law in support of one's conclusion would be terrific.

Thanks,

- Doug.
