Kernrechtsfrage
Whether refusal to hold a site inspection violated the right to be heard.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The buildability of the parcel could be assessed from the file, so no local inspection was required.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court had sufficient plans and documents to assess the former zoning and the building possibilities; the Federal Supreme Court likewise found no need for a site visit.
