Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the continued gravel extraction outside the building zone could be authorized by exception under Art. 24 RPG
Extrahierter Entscheid
An exception permit was in principle available for a small, non-UVP project outside the building zone, but the requested extension failed because overriding interests weighed against it.
Extrahierte Begründung
No excavation zone had been designated, so the request had to be assessed under Art. 24 RPG. Given the small remaining volume, the court still carried out an interest balancing and found the private interests minor and the public interests in landscape, water, and agricultural protection predominant.
