The Federal Administrative Court granted the defendant’s appeal and permitted an appeal on points of law against the lower court’s judgment, finding the appeal on points of law justified due to the fundamental significance of the case. The dispute concerned the compatibility of German building law with EU law, specifically challenging the provision that renders violations of the planning obligation to consult neighboring municipalities (under § 3(2) sentence 2 BauGB) unenforceable after a one-year exclusion period under § 215(1) no. 1 BauGB. The decisive legal basis for the decision was the criteria for permitting appeals on points of law under § 132(2) no. 1 VwGO, based on the open question of whether this strict time limit for challenging procedural planning errors violates the requirements of European Union law.
