Applying for a special authorisation for a change ban to safeguard urban land-use planning

  • Service description

    An exception to the change ban to safeguard the urban land-use planning can be authorised if there are no overriding public interests to the contrary. The decision on exceptions is made by the planning permission authority together with the municipality.

    The following can be affected by a change ban:

    • Construction, modification and change of use of buildings,
    • Large-scale backfilling and excavation,
    • Excavations, deposits including storage sites,
    • Removal of structural installations,
    • significant or substantially value-enhancing changes to properties and structures whose changes are not subject to authorisation, approval or notification.

    In the case of projects in the formally defined redevelopment area or in the urban development area, the provisions of a change ban to secure the urban land-use planning do not apply. In this case, authorisation must be obtained from the municipality.

    The change ban to safeguard urban land-use planning does not affect the following areas

    • Projects that were authorised under building law before the change ban came into force,
    • Projects of which the municipality is aware and the execution of which could have begun before the change ban came into force,
    • maintenance work and the continuation of a previously exercised use.
  • Procedure

    • You submit the completed application for exemption authorisation for a change ban to secure the urban land-use planning to the responsible building permit authority.
    • If documents are missing or there are other ambiguities, you will be asked to rectify these obstacles to assessment.
    • In this case, submit the missing or amended documents and/or the clarification.
    • The planning permission authority will check your application.
    • If all requirements for the granting of an exemption permit are met, the planning permission authority makes a final decision together with the municipality.
