Key legal question
Whether the burned-down fish hut could be rebuilt under Art. 24c RPG.
Extracted holding
No. The hut was not shown to have been lawfully erected or lawfully altered, so the transitional protection of Art. 24c RPG did not apply.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 24c RPG protects only existing non-conforming structures that were lawfully created or changed. The appellants bore the burden of proving legality, but no building permit or equivalent proof existed; a later functional change and utility installations were also unauthorized.
