Question juridique clé
Whether the horse dressage arena in the agricultural zone could be authorized under the spatial-planning exception rule.
Solution extraite
Yes. After balancing interests, the arena was eligible for an exception permit outside the building zone.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the required location outside the building zone was established under Art. 24(1) RPG, and that the interests in preserving agricultural land did not outweigh the owner's legitimate interest in a 20 x 40 m sand arena suitable for horse training and preparation.
