Key legal question
Whether the fence with privacy screen could be permitted under Art. 24c RPG as a moderate extension of a pre-existing non-conforming structure.
Extracted holding
No. The new installation changed the structure's extent, appearance, and purpose too substantially to preserve its identity.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 24c RPG and Art. 42 RPV protect only minor changes to lawful pre-existing non-conforming structures; a height increase from about 1.4 m to 2.85 m plus a wooden privacy wall was not subordinate and created new effects.
