Key legal question
Whether the demolition and restoration order for the unauthorized attic apartments was proportionate.
Extracted holding
Yes. The violations were not minor, no later regularization was possible, and the public interest in restoring lawful zoning prevailed over the private financial burden.
Extracted reasoning
The project exceeded the lawful enlargement potential by a wide margin. Even unchanged exterior volume could not make the deviation minor. The interests protected by separation of buildable and non-buildable land are particularly weighty.
