In this newsletter, Dr. Christoph Meyer and Laura Luthiger explain the requirements of spatial planning law with regard to the necessary rezoning. The authors set out how such a rezoning is to be carried out and what compensation consequences the communities must expect.
Communities with oversized construction zones must consider rezoning in the coming years. This is a consequence of the revised Federal Act on Spatial Planning (Spatial Planning Act, SPA) which came into force in 2014.
