Summary

The Planning Act is being amended to significantly simplify and speed up planning procedures. The changes allow local governments to respond to developments faster and more flexibly, to end outdated or stalled plans and to reduce formal and time-consuming obligations. For example, in the future, the validity of the detailed plan will automatically expire if no development activities have been started on its basis within ten years. If the validity period is still needed can be extended without a new public procedure. The most important change is the abandonment of the special planning of the local government, which until now was used, for example, in the planning of wind farms. In the future, such buildings with a significant impact can be planned on the basis of detailed planning, which is faster and cheaper. If the average processing time of the KOV special plan has been four years, the same result can be achieved with the detailed plan in an average of 2.2 years. Most plans is done anyway on land owned by the developer, which is why the mandatory preliminary procedure for special planning is mostly formal.
