Résumé Omnilex

The case concerned a proposed service-station construction project in a zone governed by an existing special land-use plan. The court held that a project that manifestly deviates from the plan in force cannot be authorized. The application was therefore refused. The only cited norm was LALAT art. 13, which formed the basis for the planning review.

Regeste Omnilex

LALAT art. 13; construction permit incompatible with a binding special land-use plan may not be granted. Where a project manifestly departs from the local development plan or special zoning scheme in force, the competent authority must refuse authorization; the binding nature of the plan prevails over the applicant’s request. The court confirms that the permit authority has no discretion to validate a project that is plainly contrary to the applicable planning framework (consid. not stated).

Question juridique clé

Whether the construction permit for the planned service station could be granted despite its manifest inconsistency with the binding special land-use plan.

Solution extraite

No. A project that clearly departs from the binding local development plan in force for the area cannot be authorized.

Motifs extraits

The decisive consideration is the binding effect of the special land-use plan; where the project is manifestly incompatible with that plan, authorization must be refused.
