Key legal question
Whether the Media Markt quarter plan was subject to an EIA due to a functional link with nearby projects
Extracted holding
No. The projects were not functionally linked in the legal sense required for a joint EIA.
Extracted reasoning
Although the projects were close in space and time and shared access-related measures, there was no coordination, common organization, or shared purpose between the builders. Project-based EIA cannot be extended to independent projects merely because municipal planning creates a common traffic framework.
