Applying for planning permission for the construction of an installation using the simplified procedure

  • Service description

    § Section 66 (1) sentence 1 of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Building Regulations (LBauO) lists projects for which the simplified approval procedure must be carried out. These include, for example, residential buildings in building classes 1 - 3 (i.e. the floor of any storey in which living rooms are possible must not be more than 7 m above ground level on average) including their outbuildings and ancillary facilities. For the projects listed in § 66 Para. 2 LBauO, a simplified approval procedure is only carried out if certificates are submitted by experts recognized by the building authorities that stability and fire protection are guaranteed.

    In the simplified approval procedure, the building supervisory review is limited to admissibility in accordance with the provisions of the Building Code, local building regulations (Section 88 LBauO), Section 52 LBauO and other public law regulations. The compliance of the project with the building regulations, i.e. also the Rhineland-Palatinate state building regulations, is not checked.

    The application for a building permit under the simplified approval procedure must be submitted to the municipal administration or the association of municipalities.

    The building documents that must be submitted with the building application are set out in Section 7 of the state ordinance on building documents and the building inspection. The building application and the building documents must be signed by the client as well as the drafters who are authorized to submit building documents for building applications.

  • What fees apply?

    Fees are incurred for the granting of planning permission, the amount of which is essentially determined by the type of project approved. These fees are charged in accordance with the State Ordinance on Fees and Remuneration for Official Acts and Services under Building Regulations Law (Special Fee Schedule).

  • What deadlines do I have to observe?

    I f the building supervisory authority has confirmed that a building application is complete, it must make a decision within one month for projects pursuant to Section 66 (1) LBauO and within three months for projects pursuant to Section 66 (2) LBauO if the requirements specified in Section 66 (5) are met. I f the consent of the municipality is required in accordance with § 14 Para. 2 Sentence 2 or § 36 Para. 1 Sentence 1 BauGB, this period begins upon receipt of the notification of the municipality's decision or, if the consent of the municipality is deemed to have been granted upon expiry of the deadline in accordance with § 36 Para. 2 Sentence 2 BauGB, at the time by which the notification of the refusal of the municipality's consent should have been received by the building supervisory authority. The building permit is deemed to have been granted if no decision has been made on the building application within this period. The deadline may be extended by up to two months, in particular if other authorities still need to be involved or decisions on deviations are required.
