Immisje zapachowe jako podstawa ograniczeń dotyczących prawa zabudowy w miejscowym planie zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Glosa aprobująca do wyroku Naczelnego Sądu Administracyjnego z 14 marca 2018 r. (II OSK 1281/16)

Abstract

This ruling is a departure from the position to date of the administrative courts, which acknowledged that the matter of an arduous odour cannot constitute grounds for limiting ownership rights. In the judgment of 14 March 2018 (II OSK 1281/16), the Supreme Administrative Court decided that the matter of odours that are arduous for neighbouring properties can constitute grounds for the municipality to take advantage of its planning powers and introduce restrictions on development abilities. This position is based on the assumption that the implementation of the principle of spatial governance, which also includes the need to respect the postulate of sustainable development, also requires the matter of the protection of the life and health of residents to be taken into account in the planning procedure. Therefore, despite the lack of existing legal norms regulating the permissible levels, the negative impact of an arduous odour can lead to the introduction of appropriate restrictions in the land use plan as an act of local law. This ruling is extremely important and equips municipalities with an effective instrument for reducing arduous investments.
