Key legal question
Whether the refusal of the complementary building permit violated property rights and proportionality.
Extracted holding
The refusal was compatible with the constitutional protection of property because it rested on a legal basis, served a strong public interest under the LDTR, and was not disproportionate.
Extracted reasoning
The LDTR aims to preserve existing housing conditions; the challenged terraces were not necessary and would qualitatively alter the apartments. The complainant did not show that the refusal exceeded the statute's purpose.
