FAQ

What is a plan approval procedure and when is it necessary for infrastructure projects?

The plan approval procedure is a formalised approval procedure on the permissibility of spatially significant projects and infrastructure projects, which includes public and private concerns in the weighing process at an early stage. The legal basis for the plan approval procedure is found in Section 72 et seqq Administrative Procedure Act (VwVfG), in the administrative procedure laws of the federal states and in special sectoral planning law. According to these, a plan approval is required, for example, for the construction of federal motorways under the Highway Act (FStrG) or the construction of certain power lines under the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) or the Grid Expansion Acceleration Act (NABEG).

How does a plan approval procedure usually go?
  1. The project developer submits the application and the planning documents to the respective authority.
  2. The hearing procedure – including the raising of objections by the affected parties, possible counter statements by the developer and the holding of the hearing – will take place.
  3. The decision on the project application is made by the plan approval authority (so-called plan approval decision).
  4. If necessary, an appeal procedure will take place.
What added value do synopses offer during objection management?

The aim and purpose of the hearing procedure is to gather all the reasons for or against the project to obtain an overview of the different interests. This weighing material forms the basis for the plan approval authority to decide on the application for the project. The synopsis helps the developer and/or the authority to obtain a comprehensive overview of the arguments presented in the objections and their weighting in a straightforward manner and to comment on them accordingly.

What are the advantages of software licensing or managed services?

The software offers you the possibility to manage your objections efficiently and reliably by yourself.

Our Managed Service also relieves you in your deployment of resources. The flexible option of adding Managed Service components allows you to mitigate peak workloads.

Does the tool's data protection policy comply with the requirements of the German Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO)?

Yes. Data security is our top priority, which is why our objection management system has been designed to comply with the DSGVO.
