Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the groundwater protection requirements for the special permit were proven and the building permit could stand without further investigations or measures.
Decisione estratta
The bank did not prove that the groundwater flow capacity would be reduced by less than 10%; further clarification and/or additional protective measures were required.
Motivazione estratta
The lower authorities relied on hydrogeological reports with conflicting assumptions. The Federal Office for the Environment credibly showed a methodological error in one report. The existing authorization lacked the necessary conditions to secure compliance, so the permit could not remain unchanged.
