Key legal question
Whether Helvetia Nostra had standing to appeal the building permit under Art. 12(1)(b) NFA and Art. 75b Constitution.
Extracted holding
Yes. The association had standing because the permit concerned a construction project implementing a federal task linked to nature and landscape protection.
Extracted reasoning
The Court relied on its 22 May 2013 precedent holding that permits for secondary residences fall within a federal task and that Helvetia Nostra is among the organizations entitled to appeal.
