Résumé Omnilex

The case concerns roof dormer windows and the application of LCI 89. The court held, in the exercise of its free discretion, that the proposed dormers are not incompatible with the building's heritage presentation or the relevant aesthetic standards.

Regeste Omnilex

LCI 89; aesthetic compatibility of roof dormers and heritage presentation; the authority retains a margin of appreciation, but the court may freely review whether the project harmonizes with the building and its surroundings. Dormer windows are permissible when, assessed globally, they do not offend the protected architectural or aesthetic appearance. Mere alteration of the roof line does not by itself establish incompatibility.
