Main Instruments of Spatial Planning in Germany
1. Formal Instruments:
• Comprehensive plan for state terrritory
• Territorial Impact Assessment of complex projects
• Spatial Planning Statement on local plans or less complex projects
2. Informal Instruments:
• Moderation of spatial use conflicts
• Elaboration and concertation of nonbinding action programmes

Which role does TIA play?
Check large-scale infrastructure projects at an early stage of planning
• for compliance with the objectives of spatial planning
• for mutual balance of conflicting objectives
• for optimum planning solutions

Which issues are checked in TIA?
In principle: All relevant issues!
TIAEconomy Environment
Society Culture

Who participates in TIA?
All relevant stakeholders!
• Project developer
• Spatial planning authority
• Sectoral authorities
• Institutions and NGOs
• Municipalities
• General public

Which projects are subjected to TIA?
Large-scale development projects...
• which have considerable impact on
regional development
• where alternative options of route /
location can be considered
E.g. highways, high-voltage lines, major windmill parks,
large holiday villages...

Which procedure does TIA follow?
2. Assessment phase
• Participation (stakeholders / public)
• Optimization of project design
1. Initial phase
Documentation of project and impacts
3. Final phase
Conclusion of TIA:Fully / partly / not in compliance with objectives

What are the benefits of TIA ?1) managing conflicts
by early participation of target groups
2) minimizing negative impacts and costs by optimizing the choice for location / routing / technical planning
3) ensuring planning reliability by giving early and reliable information about realisation chances
4) shortening the whole planning process by pre-checking crucial points
5) securing spatial planning objectives by the duty to take TIA results into account in the following process
6) supporting local administrations in case of large-scale investments

summary:
TIA stands for...
• harmonization of project with all
public interests (incl. EIA)• stakeholder / public participation• pre-check at an early stage of
planning• being conducted by a neutral
authority
