Accelerated development plan procedure in the outdoor area required

As part of the accelerated development plan process in the outside area, 860 processes were carried out, more than half of them in areas with increased settlement pressure. The instrument makes an important contribution to creating living space and should therefore be expanded.

In the meantime, the development plan procedure accelerated in the outdoor area was implemented § 13b Building regulations (BauGB) initiated, a large part of it has already been concluded. This was the result of a survey by the Ministry of Economic Affairs among the regional councils. "It has been shown that this instrument makes an important contribution to the quick creation of urgently needed living spaces. More than a third of the municipalities in the country has even used the accelerated development plan procedure in some cases.

Important contribution to the creation of living space

"We have a high growth rate, especially in the metropolitan areas: over half of the procedures were carried out in areas with increased settlement pressure," said the minister. The accelerated procedure is used in all parts of the country. Like one under the Housing alliance shows that due to its broad economic strength, an almost country There is living space - and consequently also in many communities in rural areas.

"We have to support the municipalities as far as possible in the central task of creating urgently needed apartments. The accelerated procedure offers an important relief that is of great importance in view of the complex requirements of municipal land use and the urgent-almost nationwide-residential needs in the country," says Hoffmeister-Kraut. "Therefore, I continue to advocate an expansion of the regulation - as proposed in the draft of the Federal Government for the building land mobilization law." The feedback from cities and municipalities in the country confirmed the great added value of the instrument. The minister said she was convinced that the communities would continue to use it responsibly.

advantages of the accelerated procedure

Advantages of the accelerated procedure are, among other things, relief with regard to the otherwise mandatory, strictly formalized environmental examination and compensation for interventions in nature and landscape. "In particular, the statutory compensation obligation in the normal procedure ensures additional space competition, which is also at the expense of housing construction," said the minister. It is therefore correct that the accelerated procedure lives up to the relationship between the concerns of the local population and the concerns of nature conservation without losing sight of nature.

"The actual corona crisis shows that life as a human Basic needs play an even more important role than it is, since for many people the home has also become a temporary job. With development plans according to § 13b BauGB, municipalities in the outdoor area can show additional residential areas in addition to the existing settlement area. This is accompanied by a simplification of the procedures that ensure faster and less bureaucratic development plan procedures.
