Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Article 6 ECHR entitled the appellant to a public oral hearing in this planning dispute
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The dispute did not concern a civil right protected by Article 6 ECHR because the appellant relied on the precautionary principle, not on an alleged exceedance of neighbor-protective emission limits on its own land.
Extrahierte Begründung
Article 6 ECHR applies in building/planning matters only where the party invokes norms serving its own protection. The precautionary principle in environmental law serves the public interest and does not, in itself, create a neighbor-protective entitlement.
