The role of land administration for landconsolidation: finding new projects

2

Goals in the rural areas in the Netherlands

Ecological Main Structure (EMS) Water goals (EU Water Framework Directive/21st

Century Water Management) Infrastructure Improvement of the agricultural structure

3

Available instruments to achieve the goals

Voluntary re-allotment Voluntary re-allotment based on an exchange-plan Land consolidation without expropriation based on the

law Land consolidation in combination with expropreation

based on the law

4

Which instrument must be used?

Depends on:

Goals that must be achieved

Area situation

5

Analysing the area situation (1)

Analysing of each province Based on land administration (land registry/cadastre) Extract of land administration;only main information:

- plots- most important owner- address of the owner- area - unique address code (ZIP code + building number + building number addition)

Only rural areas

6

Analysing the area situation (2)

Combining owners by using the unique address code (e.g. man and wife are

married. Man owns a few parcels and his wife owns a few parcels. They are living on the same address. So the parcels will be united by using the unique address code)

Consequence: forming of some kind of ‘land-users’ Combining of cadastral plots by using 2 conditions:

- equal ‘land-user’- cadastral plots must touch each other

Forming of ‘house-plots’ and ‘field-plots’ (overlay with main-buildings)

7

Analysing the area situation (3)

Available:

Analysing the area situation (4)

% ‘house-plots’ Average number of field-plots

Maps about agricultural structure:

9

Analysing the area situation (5)

Barometer of consolidation Percentage ‘house-plots’ Average number of ‘field-plots’ Average area of ‘house-plots’ Average area of ‘field-plots’

10

Analysing the area situation (6) Ecological Main Structure Property of national landbank

11

Pressure maps (1)

Dividing the province into ‘block-parts’ Boundaries of each ‘block-part’ are:

- highways

- main roads

- railroads

- rivers/canals

- choices of other smaller roads

12

Analysing the area situation (7)

Model 1:

• 100%-model for farmers

• no allocation for property of landbank

13

Analysing the area situation (7)

Model 2:

• 100%-model for farmers

• no allocation for property of landbank

• area claims for not achieve EMS

14

Explanation of models

Model 1:- 100% of all ‘land-users’ must be allocated inside

the ‘blockpart’ of the ‘house-plot’ (if a ‘land-user’ doesn’t have a ‘house-plot’ inside the province or rural area then 100% of their area will be allocated inside the ‘blockpart’ closest to their address)

- No allocation of property of the national landbank

Model 2:- Model 1

&- Area of Ecological Main Structure that is not achieved will be put

as a area-claim inside the ‘block-part’

15

Conclusions by combining the maps (1)

If the only goal is improvement of agriculture structure:

- in block-parts with bad ‘barometer of consolidation’

- low pressure in map 100%-model-for-farmers:

instrument to use: voluntary re-allotment (based on an exchange plan)

- high pressure in map 100%-model-for-farmers:

instrument to use: land consolidation without expropriation

16

Conclusions by combining the maps (2)

Goals: improvement of agriculture structure and

achievement of Ecological Main Structure

- in block-parts with bad ‘barometer of consolidation’

- low pressure in map 100%-for-farmers-and-claims-EMS:

instrument to use: voluntary reallotment based on an exchange plan

- high pressure in map 100%-for-farmers-and-claims-EMS:

instrument to use: land consolidation

- if ‘house-plots’ are hit by the EMS:

instrument to use: land consolidation with expropriation

17

Finally

Based on the registry of property information important

maps can be created Based on these maps Cadastre Netherlands advises

decision-makers (Government, Provinces, Water-

boards) where to start projects and which instrument

must be used
