Spatial plans

Lechner Knowledge Centre carries out the task of preparing the National Spatial Plan, the Lake Balaton Priority Resort Area Spatial Plan and the Budapest Metropolitan Area Spatial Plan – which is laid down in legislation (Government Decree 218/2009 (6 October)) –  on behalf of the Prime Minister’s Office. We also provide a professional background for the tasks established by the empowering provisions of „Act CXXXIX. of 2018 on National Spatial Plan and spatial plans of high priority regions” and support the compliance assurance with the National Spatial Plan at lower levels (county and municipal levels). Therefore, we are involved in the preparation of the parliamentary report on the country’s territorial processes and the maintenance of the geodatabase of the three plans among other tasks.

As a background institute to the Prime Minister’s Office our tasks also include the territorial planning of the Lake Balaton coastal area as delegated by Government Decree 283/2002 (21 December). The plan, jointly with the legislation of the Prime Minister’s Office, serves public interest by creating detailed, property-level regulations in order to preserve the values of the area.

Besides our aforementioned role as background institute our activities in spatial planning include the preparation of the spatial plans of multiple counties, most recently the plans of Fejér, Győr-Moson-Sopron and Somogy Counties, commissioned by the county governments.
