Land use plan

Local development plan, commonly referred to as the local plan, is an act of local law. It is adopted by resolution of the municipal council. Its content specifies the designation of a given area for specific functions, the conditions for its development and construction and the location of public purpose investments.

Is the basis for spatial planning in the municipality, establishes regulations generally applicable to the area and changes the use of agricultural and forest land for non-agricultural and non-forest purposes. It may not go beyond the boundaries of the municipality's administration, with the proviso that several spatial development plans may be in force within its area. However, they may not contain regulations for the same area.

During the procedure adoption of the local plan There is a possibility to submit individual applications to the plan under development, and then also to comment on the already prepared content of the draft. While applications submitted at the initial stage of the procedure are of a rather general nature - they usually signal a certain position or postulate concerning a given land use, comments submitted at a later stage should be more precise and refer to the individual contents of the draft.

The administrative authority is obliged to respond to these comments. If they are accepted, they are incorporated into the project. If, on the other hand, the comments are not accepted, the position of the authority may be challenged only by challenging the resolution on the local plan.
