Legal basis

§ 51 BauGB - individual standard (gesetze-im-internet.de)

The properties within the area of a reallocation procedure according to the Building Code (BauGB) are subject to the disposal and change block according to § 51 BauGB. Every single change in the factual or legal situation on the properties in the reallocation area can have consequences for a large number of other decisions. For this purpose, the legal processes and projects listed in Section 51 are subject to approval. Approval is to be granted if there is no reason to assume that the project would make the reallocation impossible or significantly more difficult.
