Charles Holloway v. State of Maryland

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• local bylaw required applicant to prove that there was no feasible alternative to proposed project with less adverse effect on wetlands
• “when a local conservation commission rests its decision on a wetlands by-law that provides greater protection than the act, its decision cannot be preempted by a DEP superseding order”
• “erosion control in and of itself was a focal point of the commission’s decision”
• a town by-law identified protected values and requirements that were not specifically contained in either the relevant State statute or the related regulations; the town by-law was thus “more stringent than the act and related regulations”
