This is a part of Module 7, Area Development of the Bachelor Civil Engineering. See here for the complete description of this module.
During this course you will learn about the legal and policy context in which area development takes place. You will learn about property rights, public law, legal planning and permit instruments, balancing diverse interests, multi-level governance and the role of private sector developers. Specific attention will be given to the current Spatial Planning Act and the current and foreseen legislation regarding the Built Environment, adaptation to climate change and the way citizen can participate and/or object to protect their private or public interests. This component will be assessed by means of an individual exam and will be applied in the group project.
Additional information:
As it related to Dutch legislation, looking for real examples will run into the limitation of it being in Dutch only; normally students are asked to check the land use allowed (bestemming) for a home (of parents, family, self, ..) which is difficult for non-Dutch speakers, and therefore totally voluntary.
A complete overhaul of the relevant legal system is under way. After several delays, its earlier announced enactment as of 1 January 2021 has been postponed again for at least one year (due to Corona?).
