What is OPPN and why is it used?

Share

OPPN is an abbreviation for ‘Municipal Detailed Spatial Plan.’ It is a spatial act prepared and adopted by the municipality for a specific area or location within its boundaries. OPPN determines more detailed spatial regulations and guidelines regarding the purpose and method of construction and other activities in this area.

The municipal detailed spatial plan represents an upgrade and a more detailed implementation planning in relation to the municipal spatial plan (OPN). If the OPN determines the basic directions for the development of the municipality, the OPPN specifically determines the details for each area, such as subdivision, transport infrastructure, spatial design of buildings, environmental protection, arrangement of green areas, and other spatial guidelines.

OPPN is prepared for smaller areas where new constructions, arrangements, or changes to existing spatial arrangements are planned. The adoption of OPPN enables more precise and adapted planning for a specific location and ensures coordination with higher spatial acts, such as national and regional spatial plans.

The process of preparing the OPPN includes public disclosure and obtaining opinions and consents from competent institutions and the public before it is adopted as a valid spatial act. It ensures the comprehensive and orderly development of individual areas within the municipality while simultaneously ensuring the protection of natural and cultural heritage and the environment.

OPPN (Municipal Detailed Spatial Plan) is extremely important in construction planning for several reasons:

Detailed spatial arrangement

OPPN represents a detailed and precise spatial arrangement for a certain area or plot within the municipality. It determines the purpose of land, permitted construction activities, height restrictions, arrangements for traffic areas, green areas, infrastructure, and other spatial planning elements. This enables a clear determination of what is allowed to be built in each area, ensuring an orderly and coherent spatial arrangement.

Adaptation to local needs

OPPN enables the adaptation of spatial planning and construction to local needs, challenges, and development goals of the municipality. This ensures that construction is adapted to the specific requirements of each area, leading to a more meaningful and optimal use of space.

Protection of the environment and natural heritage

OPPN includes guidelines for the protection of the environment, natural heritage, green areas, and other sensitive elements. This ensures the preservation of natural and cultural heritage and the protection of the environment against inappropriate construction or exploitation.

Compliance with higher spatial acts

OPPN must comply with higher spatial acts, such as national and regional spatial plans. This ensures the coordination of local spatial planning with broader spatial guidelines and policies at higher levels.

Public participation

The preparation of the OPPN usually includes a public participation process in which residents, potential investors, and other interested parties have the opportunity to express their opinions and comments regarding spatial planning. This ensures transparency and public participation in the design of spatial planning.

Basis for building permit

OPPN is the basis for obtaining a building permit. When planning construction, the provisions and guidelines of the OPPN must be taken into account, as they determine what is allowed to be built in a certain area and how.

Together with other spatial acts and documentation (such as OPN, state and regional spatial plans), OPPN ensures orderly, planned, and sustainable construction and takes care of the long-term development of the area in accordance with local needs and requirements.
