Key legal question
Whether the municipal refusal based on anticipated effect of a pending planning rule could still block the renewed permit request.
Extracted holding
No. Once the initial blocking period expired, the municipality could not prolong the block by invoking another subsidiary planning project; the renewed request had to be decided under the old regime.
Extracted reasoning
The negative anticipated effect under Vaud law is a temporary provisional measure with fixed duration. Allowing successive alternative planning measures would undermine that temporal limit and the provisional nature of Arts. 77 and 79 LATC.
