Public participation is required by law in a development plan. According to the Building Code, the draft plan with justification is publicly displayed and published on the Internet for a period of one month, but at least 30 days. During this time, anyone interested can submit comments. This example process shows what such an interpretation can look like on a participation platform: planning documents, deadlines and contact persons in one place, statements online instead of just on paper, and an overview that remains comprehensible for everyone.

You can submit statements during the interpretation period using the “Submit statement” button. Describe your concern as specifically as possible and, if possible, locate it on the map. After the deadline, all comments received on time will be examined and weighed before the local council makes a decision. You will be informed about the result here. This is an example process from Meyssens. All contents are illustrative examples, they do not come from the city of Neudenau, and there is no such draft plan.
