Kernrechtsfrage
Whether neighboring landowners had standing to appeal the building permit decision
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Their immediate proximity, visual connection, and the foreseeable change in view, appearance, and possible noise effects established special concern and a protected interest.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 89(1) BGG and the harmonization required by Art. 33(3)(a) RPG and Art. 111 BGG, standing exists where the appellant is specially affected in a practical way. The neighbors' parcels were directly adjacent or separated only by a road, with homes about 30 to 40 meters away and direct sightline to the project; the replacement building differed materially from the existing chalet.
