The County Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's request for a building permit for a sauna attached to a detached house. The lower authority had granted the permit, reasoning the sauna was an economic building linked to an existing residence, but the court found the detached house did not yet qualify as an existing residence. Consequently, the permit was invalid without a specific exception approval under the Building Act.

Rakennuslautakunta myönsi V:lle lainvoimaisen rantakaavasäännöksistä myönnetyn poikkeusluvan perusteella rakennusluvan omakotitalon rakentamiseen. Todettuaan rakennusluvan myönnetyksi lautakunta myönsi V:lle luvan myös rantasaunan rakentamiseen, koska saunaa voitiin pitää jo olemassa olevaan asuinrakennukseen liittyvänä talousrakennuksena. Lääninoikeus katsoi, ettei omakotitaloa voitu vielä pitää olemassa olevana asuntona. Rantasaunalle ei siten voitu myöntää rakennuslupaa ilman asianmukaista poikkeuslupaa.
