Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the municipal refusal of the building permit was arbitrary in applying core-zone design rules.
Decisione estratta
The municipal assessment was not arbitrary; the cantonal court could regard the refusal as at least defensible.
Motivazione estratta
The project's southern part, with its 3:1 height-to-width ratio, stepped east facade and overhanging roof, could be seen as aesthetically unsatisfactory and insufficiently integrated into the characteristic core-zone fabric. The cantonal court did not impose a requirement of an already existing comparable building and was entitled to give decisive weight to the contested building body's proportions.
