Key legal question
Whether the disputed parcels had to be included in the building zone as a building gap under Art. 15 lit. a RPG.
Extracted holding
No. The parcels were not part of a closed built-up area and did not qualify as a building gap; the municipality could require public access and development planning.
Extracted reasoning
The court assessed the area as a whole, not parcel by parcel. The existing structures did not form a coherent settlement area, the road layout did not provide suitable access, and the parcels were only partly serviced and relatively large. Additional zoning would therefore not meet the requirements of Art. 15 lit. a RPG.
