Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' prong of the Dhanasar framework. Although the petitioner's plan to develop affordable housing was noted, the record lacked evidence demonstrating that the project would have broader implications or a substantial positive economic impact on a regional or national scale, rather than just a local one.
