Explanations on planning

The adoption of the zoning plan is intended to prepare the currently underutilized area for a site-appropriate, architecturally sophisticated reuse and to implement the existing urban development concept, which is intended to serve as a catalyst for the entire Rothe Erde and Forst area. This will help meet the high demand for commercially usable space in a location with convenient transportation access. The current urban planning shortcoming—an unused brownfield site in the middle of a residential area—is to be eliminated.
In the spirit of ecologically sound urban planning, the development plan process also aims to remove impervious surfaces from certain areas, remediate the soil, and introduce greenery to these areas, thereby contributing to the improvement of the urban climate. Furthermore, provisions for pollution control are intended to resolve conflicts arising from the complex site conditions. The zoning plan is therefore to be adopted through the full procedure in accordance with Section 2 of the German Building Code (BauGB), including an environmental report.
