Flächennutzungsplan - Änderung

If the municipality wishes to change the type of planned land use in one or more areas of the municipal territory (e.g. residential areas, commercial areas, traffic areas, green areas, forest areas, agricultural areas), it must amend the existing land use plan.

In a land use plan amendment procedure, citizens and authorities are informed and involved about the changed planning intentions regarding the type of land use (e.g. residential areas, commercial areas, traffic areas, green areas, forest areas, agricultural areas) in a procedure prescribed by law. Several changes are often combined in one amendment procedure. During the early public participation and the public display of the amended planning documents, citizens have the opportunity to obtain information on the planned amendments and to submit comments.
