Spatial planning changes: more green areas and flexibility

The law changes spatial planning rules in Poland. It gives municipalities more freedom to set minimum biologically active area on plots, e.g., in city centers or near monuments. It also introduces new obligations for consulting plans with various institutions, which may lengthen procedures but aims to increase safety and environmental protection.
Key points
Municipalities will be able to more easily reduce the required amount of green space on plots in city centers, near monuments, on small technical infrastructure plots, and where a building occupies the entire plot.
Draft general municipal plans will need to be consulted with more institutions, including foresters, energy and gas network operators, and the CPK company.
Work on the first general municipal plans has been accelerated – partial invalidation is now allowed, and deadlines for adoption have been postponed to 2027.
The definition of built-up area has been changed – parts of buildings below ground level (e.g., basements) are no longer counted.
