Key legal question
Whether Helvetia Nostra had standing to appeal the building permit.
Extracted holding
Yes. As an organization entitled to appeal under the nature and landscape protection provisions, its appeal was admissible because the permit concerned the execution of a federal task.
Extracted reasoning
The court relied on its recent case law holding that secondary-residence permitting is governed by federal law and serves nature and landscape protection; therefore the organization had standing under Art. 12(1)(b) NPA/LPN.
