Is a development plan required for obtaining offers?

Hello!

I hope I have found the right place to ask my question(s):

I have inherited a plot of land which is currently still agricultural land. A year ago, we had an appointment with our building authority, where we were informed that our agricultural land is now becoming building land. It was said that the whole process takes about a year. When asked, the response so far has been that it could happen now in April or only later in late summer.

We have been told from various sources that for the house planning and obtaining quotes, the development plan is always required. Is there a way to obtain it in advance, or does it really only exist after the actual conversion into building land? Or is it perhaps different from city to city? The building authority itself, or the caseworkers, somehow could not give me a helpful answer or maybe did not want to.

We have already had our plot surveyed and received a plan from the surveying office, but I think this is probably not accurate enough for the companies and it does not specify which regulations we have to follow (tree protection boundary, distance to surrounding buildings, etc.). I assume that therefore no company wants to deal with it or that it would not make sense anyway.

Thank you very much in advance, I hope it is somewhat understandable.
Best regards

Wait until it is designated as building land. Before that, it is just making horses run wild. Without a development plan, there is no building permit.

I hope it is somewhat understandable.

No.

A year ago we had an appointment at our building authority

At whose instigation?

in which we were informed that our farmland is now becoming building land.

Only your property or are other properties affected?

the whole procedure

Does the municipality want to draw up a development plan? Is a land readjustment supposed to take place?

We have already had our property surveyed

For what purpose? With what aim?

I assume that is why no company wants to deal with it

Deal with what?

No.

Wow, nice! ;)

Regarding the answers: The meeting was initiated by the building authority. A brief background: Around us there is only one neighbor, a pub, and the rest is forest. A kindergarten has now been built there, which is why we are now lucky that part of the property is becoming building land. Only our property is affected because everything around it, as mentioned, is just forest and municipal land.

The municipality did not provide any information about the development plan, despite inquiries. But everywhere we were told that nothing is possible without this plan, although I have also heard the opposite.

The property was surveyed because my brother inherited the same part and another family member owns the property (total size approx. 7000 sqm). To properly separate everything, we had the properties resurveyed and new parcel numbers were assigned to us.

Regarding the last question: I assume that companies will not be satisfied with the survey plan.

The problem with the story is that without a development plan or a binding statement from the municipality, you don't know what and in what form you are allowed to build. Accordingly, a company could plan something for you, but if you and the company are unlucky, you may not be allowed to build it afterwards. It may be that you do not comply with the floor area ratio or only 1 full storey is permitted but 2 were planned, etc. Therefore, a plan will only be useful once you know what is allowed to be built!

Is it that urgent? If not, wait. If it is, there might still be the possibility to submit a [Bauvoranfrage]. One could, for example, orient oneself on the surrounding buildings. If everything there is 1.5 stories, the likelihood of also getting approval for that should be high. The [Voranfrage] forces the building authority to respond within a deadline.

However, whether that would be wise varies greatly. If the building authority welcomes the construction, they are certainly open to an individual decision. But if they have already sent you home 3 times with the note, "We will only know in 6 months," they will probably just be annoyed and might simply reject the matter.
