Privileged Status (§ 35 BauGB)
RechtSpecial planning permission for certain projects in rural areas.
Privileged status under § 35 of the German Building Code allows certain construction projects in rural areas without a binding land-use plan. Since EEG 2023, Agri-PV installations can be privileged under specific conditions, significantly accelerating the permitting process by eliminating the need for formal urban planning procedures.
