Asylum Act
(AsylA)

¹ A sim­pli­fied plan­ning ap­prov­al pro­ced­ure is ap­plied in the case of:

a.

small-scale loc­al pro­jects that af­fect only a few eas­ily iden­ti­fi­able per­sons;

b.

al­ter­a­tions or changes of use that do not sub­stan­tially change the ex­tern­al ap­pear­ance of the build­ings or in­stall­a­tions con­cerned, do not af­fect the le­git­im­ate in­terests of third parties, and have a neg­li­gible ef­fect on space or the en­vir­on­ment;

c.

build­ings and in­stall­a­tions that will be re­moved after three years at the latest.

² De­tailed plans based on a pro­ject that has already been ap­proved shall be ap­proved un­der the sim­pli­fied pro­ced­ure.

³ The ap­prov­al au­thor­ity may or­der the mark­ing of the pro­ject. The ap­plic­a­tion is not pub­lished and not made avail­able for pub­lic in­spec­tion. The ap­prov­al au­thor­ity shall send the plans to the per­sons con­cerned un­less they have already giv­en their con­sent in writ­ing; they have 30 days to ob­ject. The ap­prov­al au­thor­ity may con­sult the can­tons and com­munes. It shall al­low an ap­pro­pri­ate peri­od for do­ing so.

⁴ The sim­pli­fied pro­ced­ure is oth­er­wise gov­erned by the pro­vi­sions for the or­din­ary pro­ced­ure. In the event of any doubt, the or­din­ary pro­ced­ure shall be car­ried out.
