Key legal question
Whether the construction permit for a secondary residence had to be annulled under Articles 75b and 197 No. 9 Cst.
Extracted holding
Yes. The permit was issued after 11 March 2012, in a commune already above the 20% threshold, and had to be annulled.
Extracted reasoning
Article 75b Cst. is directly applicable from its entry into force. For permits issued between 11 March 2012 and 31 December 2012, an incompatible permit is annulable. The respondent showed no vested right or protected reliance that could justify an exception.
