Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the cantonal non-entry decision was admissible despite the zoning plan revision not yet being approved
Extracted holding
The appeal was premature because the revised zoning plan had not yet been approved by the competent cantonal authority; federal review becomes available only after approval and cantonal judicial review of the approved plan.
Extracted reasoning
Under the Federal Act on Spatial Planning and the Federal Supreme Court Act, appeals against zoning-plan decisions are in principle available only once the plan has been approved by the competent cantonal authority. The challenged plan revision was still pending approval, so the cantonal court correctly declined to enter into the merits.
