An association sought to oppose a project involving the treatment of industrial materials in an agricultural zone. The decision states that such an activity is not compatible with the zone's agricultural purpose and cannot benefit from a derogatory authorization, since its location there is not dictated by its destination. The record provided does not allow identification of the procedural level or the exact standing analysis.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 26a LALAT; industrial material treatment in the agricultural zone and derogatory authorization: an activity of industrial nature is incompatible with the agricultural purpose of the zone and cannot be authorized exceptionally where its siting in the zone is not objectively required by its destination. The necessity criterion is not met merely by convenience or economic interest; a derogation presupposes a location-specific need tied to the use itself.
