Urban land-use plans (land-use plan and development plan):
Urban land-use plans are the preparatory land-use plan (covering the entire municipal area) and the development plan developed from the land-use plan and regulating individual building areas. The planning authority for both is the municipality. It is responsible for its urban development within the framework of its constitutionally guaranteed planning sovereignty.

Land use plan:
The land use plan contains the urban development uses intended by the planning municipality and differentiated for the individual areas, e.g. residential construction areas, commercial construction areas, utility areas, areas for public use, traffic areas, green areas, forest areas and agricultural areas.

Development plan:
The development plan contains the details for the specific buildability of the plots of land in relation to the area. Among other things, it contains stipulations regarding the type and extent of building use, the area that can be built on and the traffic areas.

The building inspectorate is exclusively responsible for advising on questions regarding the buildability of properties.
