Appeals.

See Sec. 51-197b re administrative appeals. Cited. 153 C. 160; 171 C. 199; 189 C. 727. In appeals from administrative zoning decisions, decisions will be invalidated, even if they were reasonably supported by the record, if they were not supported by substantial evidence in the record; in an appeal from decision of a commission, the record is reviewed to determine whether there is factual support for commission's decision; should substantial evidence exist in record to support any basis or stated reason for commission's decision, the court must sustain that decision. 284 C. 838. Although judicial review of land use decisions is deferential, it is not a rubber stamp as a court cannot take view in every case that discretion exercised by local zoning authority must not be disturbed, for if it did the right of appeal would be empty. Id. Although defendant's decision in this case was guided by proper statutory factors under Sec. 7-147f, the application of those factors was not supported by substantial evidence and, therefore, was an abuse of its discretion; because neighborly animosity and outcry are not, without more, factors for defendant's consideration under Sec. 7-147f(a), testimony does not support defendant's conclusion in this case. Id. This section and Sec. 8-8, when read together, do not provide for statutory aggrievement in historic district commission appeals. 325 C. 765. If an appeal has been taken and the trial court remands a case to commission, the scope of the remand order determines the finality of the trial court's judgment for appeal purposes. 108 CA 682.
