Building and parking access permits require formal and material coordination

ATA/317/1997Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberMay 27, 1997Confirmed

Summary

The court upheld the annulment of a construction permit for an apartment building and the related permit for access to an underground parking garage. It held that, where a project includes both the building and a basement parking facility, the two authorizations are not independent. The authorities must ensure formal and material coordination between them; otherwise the permits cannot stand. The decision confirms that the parking access forms part of the same construction project and must be assessed together.

Regest

LDTR 6; construction permits for a building and access to an underground parking facility must be coordinated formally and materially when both are elements of the same project. A building authorization cannot be treated as independent of the authorization for parking access if the realization of the building depends on the parking arrangement. The lack of coordination between the two administrative permits vitiates the authorization process and justifies annulment of the permits (consid. implied).

Résumé

Annulation confirmée d'une autorisation de construire un immeuble abritant un parking et celle qui concerne l'accès audit parking, compte tenu de la violation du principe de coordination (formelle et matérielle). Lorsqu'un projet de construction d'un immeuble implique aussi celui d'un parking en sous-sol, on ne peut considérer que l'autorisation d'ériger l'immeuble est indépendante de celle de l'accès au parking. Cela nécessite dès lors de respecter le principe de coordination formelle et matérielle entre les deux autorisations.
