Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the project was an arbitrary classification as a conversion/extension under Art. 8 BZR rather than a new build requiring a development plan.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The cantonal court's interpretation was not arbitrary; the project could be treated as an extension/conversion under Art. 8(1) BZR and did not necessarily fall under the new-build regime of Art. 8(6) BZR.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court relied on the wording, the structure of Art. 8 BZR, related provisions using extension concepts, and the overall purpose of protecting the village image without forbidding building activity. The project was significant but not so new-build-like that Art. 8(6) had to apply.
