Perspektiven im Verhältnis der Landschaftsplanung zur Strategischen Umweltprüfung (SUP)
- Landscape planning is frequently mentioned in discussions on the implementation of the SEA Directive. However, one needs to bear in mind that SEA and landscape planning have different tasks: i.e., in the case of SEA dealing with the effects of a plan or programme on environmental factors and in the case of landscape planning a conceptual approach. This article looks at the substantial and procedural overlap of the two instruments. The main problem is the coincidence as regards space and time. One benefit to landscape planning would be a more frequent updates of the plans. However, a danger would be the overloading of landscape plans and a narrower scope. The author prefers a flexible combination of both instruments.
