The term development plan (frequently shortened called B-plan) does not have similar, but congruent meanings in Germany and Austria.

In Germany:

Within the local building zoning plan the development plan (= obligatory building guidance plan) is the result of the concrete, small-scale planning, to which usually for a small subsection, at the most for quarter one sets up, occasionally also for only one property. The development plan must from the which preparing building guidance plan for the entire Gemeindegebiet, out are developed. Building guidance plan and can be however also parallel sketched. Contrary to the the development plan makes obligatory regulations for the use of land ("§ 10 building law book). He is decided of the municipality as statute. The appointments over kind and measure of the structural use of properties, met in the development plan, work by the fact that they are to be considered with the building permit procedure obligatorily on individual building projects.

Within the development plans again one differentiates:

• There are in such a way specified "“qualified"” (i.e. detailed) development plans, those at least appointments over kind and the measure of the structural use (two separate appointments, i.e. the type of use like e.g. MI - Mixed development area, and the measure like e.g. the floor space index (GFZ), which coverable property surfaces and the local traffic surfaces contained (see "§ 30 BauGB). Beyond that however various further characteristics can be specified (see "§ 9 BauGB).

• "“Simple ones"” of development plans are called, which regulate less than the above mentioned four criteria. Within the range "“more simply"” and in coherently cultivated areas without development plan the validity of a building project for the not defined criteria regulates itself development plans after "§"§ the 34 and 35 BauGB, e.g. in the internal area after the area character.

For the standardization and simplification there is a statutory order created on the building law book (building use regulation - BauNVO), which specifies certain area types with its respective, permissible uses (e.g.: Village areas, mixed development areas, central areas or trade areas).

Public participation

After the building law book (Federal Republic) are to be informed citizens and citizens as well as federations as promptly as possible about the general goals and purposes of planning. Opportunity is to be given to them to express themselves for planning and submit proposed amendments. The brought in private statements are to be weighed with other interests and public interests fairly, before the plan can be decided of the municipality as statute. The participation procedure with the list, change, addition or abolition of a development plan runs i.d.R. over two stages:

• early public participation
• Public design of the draft plan

In addition ones for the participation of the public are to be requested authorities and other carriers of public interests as well as the neighbour municipalities to the delivery from statements to planning.

Defectiveness

The problem of incorrect development plans is of enormous importance in the administrative practice and for property owners. Development plans are statutes and thus legal rules. They are subject thereby actually to the nullity dogma. Since end of the 1990er years are there however in the building law book extensive exceptions of the nullity dogma regarding development plans. Since that time the building law book opens extensive healing possibilities for incorrect development plans. These healing possibilities do not refer however to errors in coming off the development plan under local-legal criteria. Like that a development plan, which comes off for example under participation of an embarrassed city delegate, is still futile after the nullity dogma also after the innovations of the building law book.

In Austria:

Regulation of the municipality, which specifies, like each property in the development land, partly beyond that, to be cultivated can; in particular the permissible building methods, overall heights, building lines and process and width of the traffic surfaces specifies. Been based on the surface dedication plan.

Since space planning falls in Austria exclusively into the authority of the countries, there are nine regional planning laws with partly most different regulation contents for land development planning. Thus development plans are to be issued surface covering over the entire development land, in others however remain them to particularly regulation-needy surfaces limited in some Lands of the Federal Republic (partial development plans). Further differences concern terms and their definitions (bordering, escape lines, building density, - mass etc.) as well as number and definition of gradations (e.g. reason and main stage of land development planning, land development guidelines etc.)
