Building land designation is rejected due to the LEP Bavaria

May I ask how big your field is? You could perhaps approach a project developer to see if there is any interest. But even then, it could be a very lengthy and expensive process before your field is rezoned as building land.

The chances of that are unlikely.

Maybe you can also swap land. Some farmers have a plot in a new development area and are still looking for fields. Otherwise, keep the field. It doesn’t consume bread and can still become very useful.

The other day I had a conversation where someone told me a house is always a risky investment. If a bomb falls on it in a war, it is worthless and destroyed. If the bomb falls on your field, you take a loader and fill the hole back in. And if there is nothing left to eat, at least you can still grow grain, potatoes, fodder beets, and cabbage on your field. Of course, that is not possible with a mini-plot in a new development area.

I found it astonishing that such discussions are happening today.

Has anyone had experience with such decisions? Can you appeal against it? If yes, where & how? Unfortunately, building in the new development area is not an option at current prices, since we would first have to buy a building plot there, whereas the arable land is already in our possession.

Hm... My colleague took several years to build on her plot. A small road runs out of town along the large agricultural plot of her father. On the other side of the road is a large field that is farmed (their property). This, in turn, borders an industrial area designated by the town. Don’t hold me to it, but it took about 8 years until she had her building permit.

On January 19, 2021, I started the topic "Optimale Aufteilung eines Flurstücks und Umwandlung in Bauland" here. (Keine Ahnung ob ich das hier verlinken darf). Currently still no buildability (but the end is somewhat foreseeable). Due to surveying and tax issues, the project was only pushed to the municipality in 2022. So at least not 8 years (as of now ;) ) But the conditions should be different for you because of the LEP?!

You should ask a lawyer. Legal advice is not allowed here.
