Villa project in protected zone must respect contiguity

ATA/519/1998Court of Justice / Administrative ChamberSep 1, 1998Confirmed

Omnilex summary

A villa project in protected zone 4B was examined under the contiguity rule and the aesthetic clause. The court held that contiguity had to be respected in that zone, but found the project compatible with aesthetics because the two blind walls would be hidden, one by trees and the other by an adjoining villa. The decision therefore confirms the project’s compliance with the applicable planning constraints.

Omnilex headnote

LCI art. 106; villa project in a protected 4B zone; contiguity and aesthetics. In protected building zones, the contiguity requirement applies as a binding planning constraint. Compliance with the aesthetic clause is assessed in light of the overall external appearance of the project; blind walls may be tolerated where they are effectively concealed by surrounding vegetation or by adjacent construction, so that the project does not detract from the protected urban fabric.
