Federal Act
on the Protection of Nature and Cultural Heritage
(NCHA)¹

¹ Com­munes and or­gan­isa­tions that have not ex­er­cised a right of re­course may par­ti­cip­ate in the re­mainder of the pro­ceed­ings as a party only if they are pre­ju­diced by an amend­ment to the rul­ing. For com­puls­ory pur­chase cases, the Fed­er­al Act of 20 June 1930³⁴ on Com­puls­ory Pur­chase (Com­puls­ory Pur­chase Act) ap­plies.

² If a com­mune or an or­gan­isa­tion has not par­ti­cip­ated in ob­jec­tion pro­ceed­ings un­der fed­er­al or can­ton­al law, it shall no longer have the right to ap­peal.

³ If an or­gan­isa­tion has failed to enter a com­pet­ent ob­jec­tion to a land use plan that is equi­val­ent to a rul­ing or if the ob­jec­tion has been dis­missed with full leg­al ef­fect, the or­gan­isa­tion may not enter the same ob­jec­tion in sub­sequent pro­ceed­ings.

⁴ Para­graphs 2 and 3 also ap­ply to ob­jec­tions and ap­peals un­der can­ton­al law against land use plans.
