Key legal question
Whether the municipality could bring a municipal appeal without having participated in the objection proceedings.
Extracted holding
The municipality lacked standing because formal participation in the objection procedure was required and it had not intervened there.
Extracted reasoning
Municipal autonomy can justify standing, but the commune must still satisfy the requirement of formal grievance by participating in the procedure in the form prescribed by law. Section 136 PBG shows that a commune wanting to oppose a project must raise an objection in the objection stage.
