City of Woburn Board of Appeals v. Housing Appeals Committee of the Department of Housing and Community Development & others.
The issue presented is whether it is permissible to treat an approval of a comprehensive permit with conditions as the functional equivalent of a denial. See G. L. c. 40B, §§ 20-23.
Interested parties may file their briefs in the Office of the Clerk for the Commonwealth, John Adams Courthouse, Suite 1-400, Pemberton Square, Boston MA 02108-1724 (Telephone 617-557-1020).
