Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal approval of the pipeline project was an admissible special plan or unlawfully bypassed the exception regime for building outside the building zone.
Solution extraite
The project could validly be approved through a special plan and did not evade the exception rules of Arts. 24-24d LAT.
Motifs extraits
The pipeline mainly served installations outside the agricultural zone; the route, coordination needs and technical complexity justified a project-specific plan. Alternatives were examined and rejected for cost and technical reasons, and the remaining land take was minimal. The cantonal procedure met federal planning requirements.
