The land use plan (FNP) at a scale of 1:15,000 depicts the utilisation of all areas in the municipal area, e.g. areas for forest, agriculture, housing, commerce, transport, etc. The land use plan includes the intended urban development over the next 10 to 15 years. The urban land-use plan takes into account the intended urban development over the next 10 to 15 years. Regulations on the land utilisation plan are set out in § 5 ff. of the German Building Code.
The land utilisation plan provides the municipality with the framework for subsequent planning. All development plans developed from the land use plan comply with the urban planning regulations. Areas may only be designated if they have been identified in the land-use plan.
