After successful completion of the course, students are able to describe the functionality and the regulatory framework of land and spatial planning law. They understand the context of spatial planning law (particularly Union and constitutional law) as well as its consequences on the distribution of competence and the forming of legal instruments. They know how to develop an interregional spatial plan and how to construct zoning and construction plans. In addition, they recognize specific spatial planning instruments, such as contracting regulations and their challenges.

Legal sources; aim of spatial planning law; final vs. conditional norms; Union and constitutional frame of land and spatial planning law; competent authority;
instruments of spatial planning: interregional spatial planning; zoning plans; construction plans; contracting regulations; legal procedure and judicial protection in spatial planning law; interface between spatial planning law and construction law; special topics in spatial planning law: shopping malls and climate protection

The subject will be thought by lecture based on practical examples and additional discussions with the students about current topics concerning spatial law; materials will be provided on TUWEL.

NO MC EXAMINATION, NO OPEN BOOK EXAMINATION

We would like to draw your attention to a very important change in the TU's study regulations that have been in effect since February 5th, 2014:

De-registration from exams

§ 18a. (1) Students are entitled to deregister from the examination orally, in writing or electronically to the examiner or the dean of studies no later than two working days before the day of the examination.

(2) If students do not appear for an examination without having canceled in accordance with Paragraph 1, the dean of studies is entitled, at the suggestion of the examiner, to prevent these students from registering for this examination for a period of eight weeks to exclude. This statutory period begins on the day of the examination on which the student did not appear despite having registered without having previously canceled. The students concerned must be informed of the ban in a suitable manner.

(3) If the student can prove that he / she was prevented from deregistering on time according to Paragraph 1 due to a valid reason (e.g. accident) or another reason that deserves special consideration, the ban must be lifted
