Steindorf is planning to change the inclusion statutes for Hausen-Birkenweg
The community of Steindorf has taken a significant step in urban planning. On July 11, 2024, the local council passed the first change to the inclusion statutes for the Hausen-Birkenweg district. This decision is part of a comprehensive process aimed at regulating and promoting development in the area.
The change particularly affects the southern area of Birkenweg, where an inclusion statute is already in force. This statute ensures the urban integration and compatible development of the area. The need to adapt the statutes arises from technical requirements that make it necessary to postpone the planned edge greening. This was requested by the owner of the affected properties.
Details on changes to the statutes
The planned change is referred to as the first change to the “OT Hausen – Birkenweg” inclusion statutes. The procedure is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code, which means that no comprehensive environmental assessment is necessary. This simplifies the process and speeds up the implementation of the planned measures.
The municipality's existing land use plan already provides for the property in question as a “village area”. The planned structural expansion is legally secured by the inclusion statutes, which means that the new construction projects must be adapted to the existing structures. This includes specifications for maximum building height and design to ensure harmonious integration into the surrounding area.
The area is accessed via existing access roads, which lead into both Dorfstrasse and Birkenweg. The necessary supply lines for water, sewage and electricity are also available, which facilitates structural development.
Another important aspect of planning is nature conservation. The municipality is committed to minimizing the impact of development on nature. Measures are planned to compensate for interference in order to take ecological concerns into account. This includes the development of compensation areas that are intended to contribute to improving biodiversity.
The change to the inclusion statutes will come into force with the local announcement of the statute resolution. The municipality of Steindorf thus shows its commitment to orderly and sustainable urban development that meets both the needs of the residents and the requirements of nature conservation.
