Conversion of outdoor area into building land - possibilities

Land use plans are often imprecise in this regard. The boundaries usually follow the parcel boundaries for simplicity. However, the outer area can begin in the middle of a parcel. Precise surveys are generally only carried out when there is a concrete building interest.

Thank you also for your assessment.

What is not entirely clear to me is that outer area is outer area. What is the advantage if it is now designated as a residential building area in the land use plan? Does that only benefit the privileged projects?

In our municipality, the land use plan was created on the drawing board and simply followed the field boundaries. This led to the confusion that green land in the outer area was suddenly considered building land – and the farmers were annoyed, being asked if they wanted to sell. In fact, the areas were not usable as building land because they remained entirely or partially in the outer area. Land use plans are often prospective declarations of intent and not yet elaborated in detail. A parcel of land can be partially built on and only partially located in the inner area. In many municipalities, the outer area begins exactly at the wall of the building.

Only a small part of the town has a development plan, the vast majority is outside. Does the proximity to the barracks play a role? Are there newer houses in the area outside that you can use as a reference?

Okay, thanks, that helps me understand the whole thing.
But I could play dumb during the conversation at the district office and say: it is declared as residential building land, so it seems to be in your interest to build there :-)
Something like that..

Yes, that is correct. The development plan is from the 80s. The rest of the village is older. I don’t know if the development plan is related to the barracks. But the part covered by the plan is further away from the barracks than the old village.

There is currently construction going on in the village, yes. Partly in building gaps and apparently an unauthorized building near the barracks in the outer area, which is currently “paused” (not a good example). Whether there are other building projects in the outer area, I need to find out. Thanks for the tip!

And then they will probably tell you that the land use plan is not drawn that precisely and that the area is designated as outer area. It would be more useful to ask which conditions must be met to rezone the outer area. Some municipalities are flexible, for example, if children want to build near their parents' neighborhood.
