Basis for State planning objectives• State Development Programme• Sectoral Framework Plans and Programmes, e.g. Project and Infrastructure Plans Agricultural Orientation Plans Forest Use Plans Waste Disposal Plans

Basis for Spatial Impact Procedure (SIA)e.g. • Traffic planning• Utility planning

During pre-feasibility stage, large envisioned projects with spatial impacts beyond the local level are already assessed in a single-window licensing procedure.

Their spatial impacts are analysed and evaluated on the background of existing co-ordinative and sector plans.

Most important aspect:

The environmental sensitivity of the selected site and eventual environmental conflicts arising from them.


The Spatial Impact Assessment Procedure

Scope of the SIA

Impacts on other existing projects or land uses

Analysis of the environmental sensitivity of the area affected by the project

Compatibility check whether project is conflicting with spatial objectives and targets of State Development Plans

Co-ordination with other plans



Tasks of the SIA

Multiple Three Tier Environmental Window Approach:

Sensitivity analysis of the whole region by overlay of 10 themes (maps are existing)

Corridor alignment identification

Identification of best alternative

Technical Approach



EXAMPLE: HIGHWAY PLANNING

Overall co-ordination: District Government

Technical execution: Highway Authority

Co-ordination with:

Political level

NGO’s

Industry

All planning authorities

Approval: by District Government

Procedure



EXAMPLE: HIGHWAY PLANNING

Single window approach

Early (at pre-feasibility stage) check of possible conflicts

Early co-ordination with all concerned authorities and social groups

Strong emphasis on environmental protection

Effective tool of preventive environmental management



Advantages of the SIA

Sectoral Planning - Forest

Forest Function Plan

Forests in urban areas have an outstanding importance for the function of climatic protection and balance

Forests on roadsides have an importance for the protection of the road and for the protection (noise and other immissions) of the surroundings
