Raumverträglichkeitsprüfung Entscheidung

You can participate in ongoing spatial impact assessments.

In a spatial impact assessment, the responsible regional planning authority examines whether major spatially significant projects appear to be feasible in a spatially and environmentally compatible manner at the desired location. The spatial impact assessment concludes with an expert, non-binding opinion.

Such spatially significant projects include, among others

• Wind farms
• Mining of mineral resources, such as
  • coal or
  • ores
• Road and rail construction
• Natural gas transmission lines
• High-voltage power lines

The state authority assesses the effects in the following areas in particular:

• Society
• Economy
• infrastructure
• environment

If a spatial planning authority assesses the spatial impact of a potential project, it makes this public.

As a citizen, company or representative of public interests, you can participate in an ongoing spatial impact assessment after the announcement by submitting a statement. You have at least one month to do so.

By participating, you can contribute to the assessment.
