Questione giuridica chiave
Whether balconies and terraces are places of sensitive use under Art. 3(3) NISV
Decisione estratta
No. Balconies and terraces are not 'rooms in buildings' within Art. 3(3)(a) NISV and are therefore not places of sensitive use.
Motivazione estratta
The wording 'rooms in buildings' excludes open-air balconies and terraces. Their use is weather-dependent and usually shorter than in living, sleeping, working, school, or care rooms. The structure of Art. 3(3) NISV and the parallel LSV concept support this reading.
