Participate in the creation of a nationwide spatial development plan
As a citizen, company, public authority or public interest body (TÖB), you can participate in the preparation or amendment of a state-wide spatial development plan. By participating, you can contribute to the planning process.
Public authorities are authorities or institutions that carry out public tasks by law. Examples of public authorities include local authorities, road construction authorities, nature conservation authorities, agricultural authorities and water authorities.
The state-wide spatial development plan defines how the limited resource of space is to be used. There are different ways in which space can be used, for example for
- residential
- commercial
- transportation
- infrastructure
- recreation or
- Nature and environment
The nationwide spatial development plan generally consists of:
- Specification of the legal basis on which the spatial development plan is based,
- definitions of spatial planning objectives and principles and
- justification and explanations of the objectives and principles of spatial planning.
The 2nd draft of the Saarland Regional Development Plan (LEP) 2030 is currently being made available to the public from December 15, 2025 to February 17, 2026.
