Key legal question
Whether the appellant had standing to challenge the municipal building permits.
Extracted holding
No. A resident living several kilometers away, outside the immediate vicinity and not exposed to special immissions, lacked a sufficiently direct and protected interest.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal rule on standing parallels Art. 103 let. a OJ. Applying the usual proximity and immissions criteria was not arbitrary; the appellant was neither a direct neighbor nor affected by special traffic nuisances.
