Questão jurídica principal
Whether the 1983 sawmill could be treated as a replacement building under Art. 37a RPG / Art. 24 aRPG despite being about 750 meters from the former site.
Decisão extraída
No. The distance and changed location meant the 1983 building lacked the required identity with the burned-down sawmill and had to be qualified as a new build.
Fundamentação extraída
Replacement under the former planning law requires preservation of the essential character of the building, including local identity. A relocation of about 750 meters is far too great to preserve that identity.
