Key legal question
Whether Helvetia Nostra had standing to appeal against the building permit.
Extracted holding
Standing had to be recognized for Helvetia Nostra under the Federal Court's later case law on nature and landscape protection associations.
Extracted reasoning
The project concerned a residence-second-home issue governed by federal law; after the 22 May 2013 precedent, Helvetia Nostra is an association entitled to appeal in a Confederation task.
