Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellants had standing to challenge the permit granted to a competitor.
Extrahierter Entscheid
They lacked standing because they were affected only as ordinary market competitors and not by any special regulatory regime or unequal privilege.
Extrahierte Begründung
Competitor standing requires a special, legally relevant proximity or privileged treatment of a rival. Mere increased competition is not enough. Here there was no cantonal or federal quota, licensing, or similar market-entry regime for quarry supply, and no substantiated unequal treatment.
