Inspecting a regional plan

You can inspect a regional plan.

With a regional spatial development plan, also known as a regional plan, the responsible planning authority controls the spatial development of a region. In the plan, it defines the objectives of spatial development for the region.

The regional plan therefore regulates the use of land in a particular region.

New or amended regional plans can be viewed on the Internet. If the responsible state authority does not make the regional plan you require available on the Internet, you can view it at the state authority, even if you are not directly affected by it.

The regional plan generally consists of

• Plan drawing with various maps and plans, for example
  • Zoning map with the spatial division of the area
  • traffic plan
  • Map of environmental protection areas
• Texts on the definitions, for example
  • Indication of development objectives,
  • guidelines and possible regulations on
    • settlement development,
    • infrastructure,
    • environmental protection and
    • regional planning
• Justification with explanation of the background and the objectives and concepts.
• Appendices and expert opinions
