Kernrechtsfrage
Whether refusing an on-site inspection violated the right to be heard.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The file, photos, and accessible records allowed a sufficient assessment of the local situation; an on-site inspection was not necessary.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court accepted that the administrative record permitted a reliable evaluation, especially since the municipal authority had broad discretion on aesthetic matters and no special circumstances required a site visit.
