The Council of State addressed urban planning matters, determining that requests for building amnesty cannot override existing, non-contested demolition orders for unauthorized structures. Additionally, the court ruled that municipalities cannot automatically demand new urbanization fees when converting service housing to permanent residences unless they can demonstrate a specific increase in urban load.
