Justice listened. But she did not hear his arguments. In Penvénan, in the Côtes-d’Armor, the owner of a house could no longer bear the cries of children emanating from the neighboring beach club, following the latter’s move. Considering himself wronged, the man had seized the administrative court to try to obtain compensation, believing that his house had lost value following the decision of the municipality to move his beach club. Already dismissed by the administrative court of Rennes in 2023, the plaintiff saw the administrative court of appeal of Nantes refuse him a new expertise, report our colleagues from Press Pepper.
When he bought his house in this town located not far from Lannion, the man did not know that he would soon be next to a beach club. Forced to close by the Covid-19 epidemic, the childcare facility had received the green light from the municipality to settle in land near the complainant. A choice that the municipality had validated over time, arousing the anger and incomprehension of the local resident, who claimed 108,000 euros from the municipality.
Acoustic expertise had been carried out but had not been able to establish the damage. The Dunes beach club will therefore be able to remain on the site, pending a new examination of the file on the merits in a few months, recalls Press Pepper.
