Key legal question
Whether the cantonal court violated Article 6(1) ECHR by reviewing the case too narrowly and not fully examining the facts and law.
Extracted holding
No. The cantonal administrative court exercised full review on facts and law, and Article 6(1) ECHR did not require review of expediency.
Extracted reasoning
The court had authority to control the decisive factual and legal questions. A municipal margin of appreciation in applying planning rules is compatible with Article 6(1) ECHR.
