Petitioner v. Municipal Council Regarding Early Construction Start Approval

A petitioner challenged a decision by a municipal council concerning the approval of an early start to construction work on a property, where the initial approval was subsequently confirmed by cantonal authorities, arguing that the procedural requirements for granting such an early start were not met. The court reasoned that the decision regarding the early start of construction, despite being based on a building permit that was still subject to appeal, constituted an administrative act that caused immediate prejudice to the petitioner, thus making the challenge admissible, and further found that the conditions for granting the early start were sufficiently met under the relevant regulations, upholding the decision of the lower authorities.
