The Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, based in North Carolina, filed suit in Buckingham County Circuit Court on March 8 asking that the court rescind the board’s January 5 decision to grant the special-use permit for the compressor station, saying the decision was “contrary to existing zoning law.” The suit asks that the special-use permit be remanded back to the board of supervisors.
Defendants in the suit are the supervisors, Buckingham County Administrator Rebecca Carter, the chairman of the county planning commission and the county’s zoning/planning administrator.
The suit by the environmental defense league was filed on behalf of residents of Union Hill, who are listed as a chapter of the league. The compressor station is to be located in the historic Union Hill area on a 68-acre parcel. The Buckingham chapter is called Concern for the New Generation.
