Résumé Omnilex

The court confirmed a CHF 2,000 fine against the owner of a parcel in agricultural zone who had stored car wrecks, scrap iron, and wood waste there for several years. It held that this kind of deposit constitutes unauthorized, non-authorizable work within the meaning of the applicable planning/building sanction provision.

Regeste Omnilex

LCI Art. 137 para. 1; storage of car wrecks and waste in agricultural zone as sanctionable unauthorized work; where the use of land consists in the long-term deposit of vehicle wrecks and similar debris on agricultural land, the conduct is not authorizable and may be penalized by an administrative fine. Persistent failure to regularize the situation justifies confirmation of the sanction.
