Key legal question
Whether the federation had standing under cantonal construction law to challenge the permit
Extracted holding
The cantonal court could validly recognize standing; the federation met the statutory requirements of being active for more than three years and pursuing territorial planning/environmental aims by ideal motives.
Extracted reasoning
The Federal Court found no arbitrary application of Art. 145(3) LCI. The appellant did not show that the cantonal court's reading of the statute was untenable, and the federation's internal statutory changes did not undermine its qualifying aims.
