Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a statutory master planning process (Bebauungsplan) take in Hesse?
A standard master plan process (Bebauungsplan) per the German Federal Building Code typically takes 12 to 24 months, encompassing initiation resolutions, stakeholder hearings, environmental audits, and council adoption. Shams Consult steers the timeline with proven diligence.
What distinguishes a project-based B-Plan (§ 12 BauGB) from the standard procedure?
Under a project-based master plan (§ 12 BauGB), the developer commits through a statutory execution agreement to build within a set timeframe and finance civil infrastructure, substantially accelerating the approval process.
