Kernrechtsfrage
Whether reduced fire-safety distances could be accepted without examining compensatory measures for nearby existing buildings.
Extrahierter Entscheid
A reduction of fire-safety distance may be admissible, but the authority must examine whether compensatory fire-protection measures are required.
Extrahierte Begründung
Where the prescribed construction-law distance cannot be increased because of existing neighboring buildings, Art. 28 of the fire-safety norm and ch. 2.5 of the directive require consideration of measures preventing fire spread. The cantonal authorities failed to address this.
