Regional planning instruments
All participating States have regional plannings in place (cf. tab. 2) which identify the protected
areas concerned as “areas where nature conservation has priority”. This means that,
within the scope of whatever planning project, the stipulated goals of nature conservation
have to be taken into consideration and/or have priority. Thus, the component parts enjoy a
status of permanent protection. Regional planning contains the following instruments:
Planning legislation
The planning legislation contains standards regarding the development, organisation, and
assurance of the supra-local plannings and measures taken. In Germany, it is regulated by
the German Spatial Planning Act on the federal level, and on the state level by the state
planning acts. This provides a basis for at the federal and state level to draw up regional
plannings that are geared to the objectives, principles, and requirements of spatial planning.
Therefore, there are stipulations to be observed or considered for secondary planning stages
in spatial planning, for urban land-use planning or for the sectoral plannings of the public
bodies charged with planning tasks that result from the development plans.
