Procedure descriptions
Apply for the construction of structural facilities (impact authorisation under nature conservation law)
If, for example, you want to erect or modify buildings or structures in the countryside (outdoor area), seal or pave areas or erect or modify fences, a building permit is often required. The term "outdoor area" refers to land and areas that are located outside of contiguous buildings and not within the scope of qualified development plans.
If this is a project for which no building permit is required (procedure-free projects in accordance with Section 50 of the State Building Code), a nature conservation permit may still be required. Whether authorisation is required depends on the location, type and size of the project. The nature conservation licence can be applied for here.
