The drafting of opinions about the compliance of the final proposal of the Spatial Development Plan of a City or Municipality SDPCM with the Spatial Plan of the County SPC
In the process of adopting a spatial development plan of a city, or municipality, with the Physical Planning Act (OG 153/13 and 65/17) the obligation of acquiring the opinions of the Institute is specified in view of the compliance of the final proposal of that plan with the Spatial Plan of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.
The drafting of opinions about spatial plans directly affects the improvement of the quality of spatial plans and eliminates difficulties during the issuance of local permits and aims at ensuring the respecting of the principles of the vertical integration of spatial plans which is specified by the Act.
The procedure of drafting opinions is a continuous task that requires a great commitment of time and many employees who work with various expert fields. In the process of drafting opinions carried out are the reading of the whole spatial plan, the study and reading of the spatial plan of the wider region, interpretations, discussions and meetings with the municipality/town and the drafter, the writing of notes and memorandums, the inspections of regulations, the acquisition of interpretations etc.
Participation in the procedure of public discussion for the Spatial Development Plan of a City or Municipality SDPCM
Apart from the procedure of giving opinions of the final proposal of the document of physical planning, the Institute also participates in the procedure of public discussion with the delivery of a written observation which contains an evaluation of the compliance with the Spatial Plan of PGC, as well as an evaluation of the compliance with the regulations and rules of the profession. In this way a basic overview of the completed document of the physical planning is made at an earlier phase and therefore making the removal of any possibly identified irregularities easier. According to needs contacts and consultations with municipalities and towns, and individual planning entities from the beginning to the end of the draft of the plan are carried out. This collaboration is valuable to the contribution of the quality of the spatial plan.
