Key legal question
Whether the administrative appeal could be heard against the cantonal court judgment.
Extracted holding
The administrative law appeal was admissible, but the state-law constitutional complaint was not, because the appellants lacked standing to invoke purely public-interest townscape provisions.
Extracted reasoning
The appellants were specially affected as nearby owners with direct visual contact, but public-interest aesthetics and heritage rules did not confer protected individual interests; the building-height argument was raised too late and insufficiently substantiated.
