The Spatial Planning Act ( ROG ) is a German federal law that contains both federal and general legal requirements on conditions, tasks and guidelines for spatial planning . Since the federal reform, spatial planning has been part of competing legislation . In the future, the federal states may deviate from the regulations of the ROG.
With effect from December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2009, the legislature amended the Regional Planning Act.
The legislative power is obtained on the one hand from the expertise powerful nature of the case , on the other hand Art. 74 para. 1 no. 31 of the Basic Law .
Basically, with the spatial planning for the entire area of the Federal Republic of Germany, a balanced settlement and open space structure is to be developed, which at the same time takes into account the functionality of the natural balance. Urban sprawl should be avoided and an effective infrastructure should be maintained. The rural areas are to be developed and recreational areas are to be promoted. The spatial planning law is intended to ensure that the housing needs are met.
