Progress in land consolidation: Expert assesses 841 hectares in Sillens!
A lot is happening in the area of land consolidation in the districts of Sillens and Isens. As nwzonline.de reports, the land consolidation process is progressing quickly. The recognized agricultural expert Wilfried Geils from Loxstedt is currently busy determining the property values for the planned land swap.
With an area of around 841 hectares, numerous property owners and tenants are affected. In order to ensure the same value between old and newly allocated properties, all areas and their essential components, such as trees and structures, are included in the valuation. The basis for this is not only the land estimate of the financial administration, but also current conditions such as water balance and terrain, the significance of which Geils checks during site visits.
Value regulations and framework conditions
One thing is clear: the increase in the value of the property plays a crucial role. According to flurbereinigung.net, the aim is for the participants to be compensated for the areas they invested in equivalent land. To do this, value ratios must be calculated fairly for both agricultural land and building land. The valuation of agricultural land is based on the respective benefit, while building land is valued according to its market value.
In addition, the possibility of surcharges for farmers who invest in sustainable soil improvement is being considered. This approach could help to increase the attractiveness of agricultural land while taking ecological aspects into account.
Public Notice and Participation
Everyone involved has the opportunity to raise their objections to the valuations of the properties. This will be the case in the coming weeks as people will be allowed to enter the properties to provide information to the owners on site. Once the work is completed, a public announcement will be made to explain the results and make them available for inspection. In this way, the authority institution ensures that transparency and the participation rights of those involved are preserved, as lgl-bw.de confirms.
The deadlines for objections vary, but in principle the results of the valuation are made available for inspection in accordance with Section 32 FlurbG so that everyone involved has the opportunity to deal with the information. The entire process aims to create a fair and equitable basis for land transfer that respects the interests of landowners.
All in all, the land consolidation process in Sillens and Isens shows a future-oriented approach that takes a wide variety of aspects into account and gives the affected owners the necessary voice. Whether the process ultimately meets all expectations remains to be seen, but the commitment of those involved is already noticeable.
