Planning
Urban planning
Urban planners have the task of designing and fulfilling a whole range of social and private requirements taking social, cultural, ecological, economic, transport and technical aspects into account.
The Federal building code (BauGB) offers the legal framework to determine the objectives taking land use planning and the respective site conditions into account. Here, the preparatory municipal land use planning (zoning plan) is applied. In principle, the entire community is examined, but concrete decisions are made within the context of the binding land use planning (development planning) for partial zones.
We process all stages of the land use planning and support both the communes and private individuals with these tasks and questions.
What planning instruments do the communes have at their disposal?
The zoning plan outlines, for the entire community, the type of land use possible for the planned urban development.
Conversely, the development planning (project and infrastructure plan) includes the legally-binding stipulations for the urban development code. It forms the basis for further measures required for the enforcement of the Federal building code (BauGB).
Further simple but binding control options for the communes are a series of other urban-development rules for controlling the development in their area. Furthermore, there is the possibility of using rules to secure the land use planning. In particular, we must mention the change of use prevention policy as per § 14 BauGB.
What sets us apart?
We know the possibilities and restrictions of urban planning with regards to process choice and process management and support, in particular, communes in carrying out their duties to involve the public and the authorities.
We provide our municipal and private customers with expert and legal support for these tasks throughout all phases of the, in part difficult, preparation process.
To simplify work procedures, we offer a simultaneous environmental audit for the necessary issues even during the land use planning phase, which can also be supplemented with a series of special expert environmental assessments.
On the basis of our many years of experience and technical equipment, we can help you satisfy the requirements and implement your special needs. The respective planning procedures, often as a prerequisite for certain measures, are carried out with the extensive support and consultation of the communes, as the land use planning authorities, all the way through to drafting the consideration documentation.
