Question juridique clé
Whether Helvetia Nostra had standing to object and appeal against the building permit under nature and heritage protection rules.
Solution extraite
Yes. Organizations entitled to appeal under the Nature and Heritage Protection Act may challenge permits alleging violations of Art. 75b BV and its transitional/implementing provisions.
Motifs extraits
Second-home quotas are a federal task protecting landscape and heritage; therefore, Art. 12 NHG organizations may invoke Art. 75b BV and related rules. The municipality and cantonal court wrongly denied standing.
