Key legal question
Whether the reclassification of the parcels into a landscape protection zone amounted to material expropriation requiring compensation.
Extracted holding
Yes. The parcels lay within a largely built-up area, were sufficiently urbanized and had a realistic prospect of development at the decisive date, so the non-zoning was exceptionally compensable.
Extracted reasoning
For a first zoning under the Spatial Planning Act, non-inclusion in a building zone is usually non-compensable, but compensation is owed in exceptional cases where the land is urbanized, located in a largely built-up area, and the owner could reasonably expect development in the near future.
