Development plan change: Bernsdorf is planning a new shopping center!

A lot is happening in Bernsdorf! The city recently published a public notice interpreting the draft 5th amendment to the city center development plan. This draft was approved by the city council on June 19, 2025. The area affected includes parcels 212/59 and 212/45 and aims to change the legal framework in the restricted commercial area. In particular, the aim is to approve a local retail establishment with a maximum sales area of ​​800 square meters. From July 7th to August 7th, 2025, interested parties can view the design documents both online on the city's homepage and on site at the city administration. Suggestions and concerns are welcome in writing or on record during this period.

But that's not all that's on the agenda. The city council approved the budget statutes for the 2025 financial year on May 15, 2025. This can be viewed from June 3rd to 11th in the city administration's citizens' office. Not to be forgotten is the new dog tax statute and the new assessment rate for property and trade tax, both of which were passed on December 12, 2024. Such regulations are particularly relevant for local residents as they can have a financial impact on many households.

The importance of development plans

Development plans are of central importance for Bernsdorf. They are not only a planning document with extensive information on permissibility, but also offer security for builders. The current development plan for the city ensures order and regulation on many levels, such as infrastructure and the distances between residential areas and streets. The aim of the development plans is to maintain a humane environment and to protect the natural basis of life. In Bernsdorf, these plans are extremely important in order to prepare future construction projects and clearly define the goals of urban development, reports bebaungsplan-online.com.

Development plans can usually be viewed free of charge at the municipal administration or online, which gives residents and interested parties direct access to information. If you would like to find out about legal obligations on a property, you can do so in the building encumbrances register. Special obligations that affect the use of a site are documented here.

Important election results and new regulations

The results of the city council elections and the local council elections on June 9, 2024 were only recently announced. These elections have a major influence on the decisions that will affect the development of Bernsdorf. In addition, a new police regulation was passed on April 18, 2024. Such regulations are essential to strengthen citizens' general sense of security and to ensure proper urban design.

Another important aspect is citizen participation. The city has published a participation report for 2023, which offers everyone interested the opportunity to find out about past projects and the planning plans. The participation of the population is of great importance because together we can create a sustainable and livable environment.

We can only hope that the planned changes and new buildings in Bernsdorf are implemented well. Because one thing is clear: vibrant urban development needs the support of all citizens in order to create a future-oriented community!
