Summary

The draft makes the planning and construction procedures faster, clearer and more transparent. The purpose of the changes is to reduce the administrative burden and shorten the time required for processing plans, while maintaining high-quality spatial planning. The bill reshapes the previous planning approval procedure of the Land and Spatial Board and replaces it with a solution based on the principle of coordination. Also specified the tasks to be solved by the detailed plan, their scope and necessity, and clearer deadlines are established for the initiation of the plan as well as for the intermediate stages of the procedure. In order to increase the transparency of the procedures, requests for initiation of detailed planning will be submitted through the planning database. In addition, the principle is established that the authorities participating in the procedure must submit their proposals and comments at the earliest possible stage in order to avoid later delays. The changes are motivated by the bottlenecks of the existing system. Currently, the detailed planning procedure lasts an average of 2.2 years, but in practice the procedure times range from a few months to 18 years. The purpose of the bill is to make the procedures more consistent, predictable and efficient for developers, local governments and state institutions.
