Key legal question
Whether the municipal appeal against the operating-hour limits and remand was well founded
Extracted holding
The cantonal judgment had to be set aside and the matter remanded because the noise assessment and use restrictions could not yet be conclusively assessed on the record.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court accepted that the proposed facility required a fresh, more detailed assessment of the sports-noise situation, potentially with further expert evidence and a clearer treatment of the German sports-noise ordinance as an aid to decision-making.
