Building planning law in public building law

Building planning law deals with the possibilities for the use of land. It regulates where and what may be built. Individual building projects are seen in a larger urban planning context.
Planning sovereignty lies with the municipality, which can thus steer urban development. The municipalities are therefore authorized to determine the development in their area in a legally binding manner by drawing up development plans.
The legal regulations for a construction project are therefore derived from the respective development plans.

The purpose of urban land-use planning is to ensure a humane environment, to protect and develop the natural foundations of life, to promote climate protection and climate adaptation and to preserve and develop the urban design and the townscape and landscape in terms of building culture.
