Decisions issued on the basis of the Act of 27 March 2003 on planning and spatial development. Public investment – the action of public objectives of local, voivodeship or national significance. A precondition for the implementation of an investment as defined in a programme is usually its incorporation into a Local Spatial Management Plan. Conditions of Development and Spatial Management - these conditions are issued concerning land not covered by a Local Spatial management Plan in the course of administration proceedings (without any plan preparation or participation procedures). Conditions are established by an administrative decision of the head of a rural commune, mayor, or city president issued on an application by a person or institution intending to implement constant changes concerning the land use, spatial management, or building fabric of an area. The Conditions precede the building permission. The decision defines the kind of investment, conditions resulting from special regulations, the technical infrastructure conditions and requirements concerning third party rights. The communal Study of the Conditions and Directions of Spatial Management must not be the legal basis for issuing a decision on the Conditions of Development and Spatial Management. In the case of issuing a decision on the conditions of land development to more than one applicant per one area, the total area for which such decisions have been issued is included only once. In the case of issuing a decision on the location of the public purpose investment, the data do not include the area of land related to linear investments.
