Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the organizations had standing to challenge the zoning-plan modification.
Decisione estratta
Yes. They made a plausible showing that the plan could circumvent federal law on environmental assessment and protected biotopes, so standing could not be denied at the admissibility stage.
Motivazione estratta
Where a planning measure may effectively legalize works subject to federal law, environmental organizations entitled to appeal may invoke that the planning route unlawfully bypasses the material federal requirements.
