The object of the contract is the preparation of the development plan "Industriepark Schwarze Pumpe - Expansion Area South 2" and the adaptation of the land use plan to the stipulations of the development plan.

This is the extension of the Schwarze Pumpe industrial park with a total area of approx. 85 ha.

The change of the land use plan takes place as a cover sheet, i.e. in the plan drawing and justification only the area of change and the possibly associated external compensation area is considered. The amendment of the land use plan takes place in parallel procedure. The aim is to create the planning conditions for the expansion of the industrial area by the 2nd quarter of 2025 at the latest.

In the present case, due to the size of the project, an environmental impact assessment (EIA) must be carried out in accordance with point 18.5.1 of Annex 1 to the Environmental Impact Act (Umweltlichkeitsgesetz, 'the UVPG'). Since a development plan procedure within the meaning of § 2 Abs. 6 Nr. 3 UVPG is carried out, the EIA is carried out in accordance with § 50 UVPG within the framework of the environmental assessment (UP) in the land-use plan procedure. The UP to be carried out here must be carried out more extensively than in a normal land-use plan procedure.

More extensive investigations must be carried out, so that several expert opinions are required.

As a technical report, the EIA will be part of the environmental report resulting from the environmental assessment.
