Applying for planning permission for the change of use of a facility using the simplified procedure

Description

Before you are allowed to change the use of a facility that requires approval, you need a change of use permit (building permit). In your application, you can also apply to use the simplified procedure. In this case, the authorities will not check building planning regulations, for example.

To do this, you submit a building application to the responsible lower building supervisory authority. As a rule, you must commission an authorized draftsman - for example a civil engineer or architect - for this.

In your application, you can also specify whether you wish to make use of a reduced inspection program.
