Explanations on planning

By securing the green space in the Büchel old town quarter, the "stone" city center is to be loosened up and a diverse "green" recreational offer created. Adjacent to the new green space, the plans envisage the development of a quarter with residential, commercial and service uses, with residential use on the upper floors and public uses on the first floors. Part of the plot is to be reserved for a use in the "knowledge" area.

Notes on public interpretation:

DIN regulations and other private regulations to which reference is made in the textual provisions of the development plan are to be applied in the version valid at the time these by-laws are issued and are available for inspection during opening hours at the Geoinformation and Land Development Department, Administration Building Am Marschiertor, Lagerhausstaße 20, 52064 Aachen, 3rd floor, Room 355/356.

In accordance with Section 3 (2) sentence 4, it is pointed out that comments can be submitted during the publication period, that comments should be submitted electronically, but can also be submitted by other means if required, that comments not submitted on time may be disregarded in the resolution on the development plan and that an application pursuant to Section 47 of the Administrative Court Code is inadmissible if it asserts objections that were not asserted or were asserted late by the applicant in the context of the interpretation, but could have been asserted.
