4. The applicant is a limited liability company with its seat in Lovas. 5. The Veszprém County Administrative Office rejected the request of the applicant, a real-estate developer, for a building permit to construct a three-flat condominium.

On 25 March 2003 the Veszprém County Regional Court quashed the administrative decision and remitted the case to the administrative authorities. 8. In the resumed administrative proceedings, on 2 March 2007 the applicant’s request was again dismissed. 9. On 18 April 2007 the applicant renewed its action. 10. On 31 October 2007 the Regional Court dismissed the action, holding that the administrative decisions had been given in compliance with the law. 11. On 25 February 2009 the Supreme Court dismissed, on the merits, the applicant’s petition for review (service: 14 April 2009).
