Basic information
As a citizen or company, you can participate in the preparation, i.e. creation or amendment, of a land use plan. Your participation gives you the opportunity to contribute to the planning process.
As a public authority or other public interest body, you will be asked to participate and submit your comments when an impact is identified. Either the responsible authority or the party responsible for the procedure would make this request.

It generally consists of:
- Indication of the planning objectives,

- land use, development or environment,

If you are a public authority or public interest group, you will be contacted by the authority responsible for the procedure and asked to submit a statement, preferably electronically.
