Questione giuridica chiave
Whether refusal of the retrospective building permit was arbitrary or violated the right to be heard
Decisione estratta
The refusal was not arbitrary and did not violate the right to be heard; the municipality could rely on the earlier final assessment that the veranda harmed the uniformity of the development and refuse the permit without further instruction.
Motivazione estratta
The Federal Court held that the municipality was bound by the prior final judgment on the relevant planning assessment. Even if it had to examine the new application, it could refuse by transposing the reasons already finally upheld, without consulting the urban planning commission again.
