Applying for planning permission for the change of use of a facility using the simplified procedure
Service description
Before you are allowed to change the use of a facility that requires authorisation, 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. In principle, you must commission an authorised draftsman - for example, a civil engineer or architect - for this.
You can also specify in your application whether you wish to make use of a reduced test programme.
Procedure
You can apply for planning permission for the change of use of a facility electronically via the online service or in writing on paper using the form.
To use the form, proceed as follows:
- Please fill in the form.
- Add the required building documents.
- Submit the application documents to the responsible lower building supervisory authority.
- If necessary, the lower building supervisory authority will ask you to pay a fee in advance.
- Make the advance payment.
- If documents are missing or there are other ambiguities, you will be asked to rectify these.
- In this case, submit the missing or amended documents and/or the clarification.
- The lower building supervisory authority will examine your application and involve the competent authorities whose participation or consultation is required.
- You will then receive the building permit and a notification of fees.
- Pay the fees.
