Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellants had standing to object to the zoning plan amendments under Art. 33 RPG and Art. 103 lit. a OG
Decisão extraída
Standing existed only for persons sufficiently affected by expected emissions or otherwise specially and closely connected to the project; the appellants did not establish a sufficient basis beyond the scope accepted by the cantonal courts.
Fundamentação extraída
The Court held that standing in planning matters depends on a special, appreciable and close relation to the subject matter. For traffic-related immissions, a projected increase of about 10% in average daily traffic was a reasonable threshold for special affectedness. The cantonal court's forecast of the traffic increase was not shown to be clearly wrong.
