Key legal question
Whether the conversion of a barn outside the building zone into a holiday home can be authorized under the planning law exception.
Extracted holding
No. A holiday or weekend house with normal residential comfort does not require an outside-building-zone location and therefore cannot be authorized as a purpose change.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 22(2) RPG, buildings may only be erected or changed if they conform to the zoning purpose. Exceptionally, Art. 24(1) RPG permits location-dependent uses outside the building zones only where such location is required and no overriding interests oppose it. A holiday home lacks such location necessity; the later RPG did not alter the earlier case law denying such conversions.
