Apply for a partial permit for the construction and operation of a plant

Read aloud

Parts of installations may, due to their nature or operation, cause harmful environmental effects or otherwise endanger, significantly disadvantage or annoy the general public or the neighborhood.

If you want to erect or operate a plant, you need a partial permit from the competent authority. A partial permit can be applied for and issued if the full permit for an applied-for facility has not yet been issued, but the following conditions are met:

  • There is a legitimate interest in issuing a partial permit,
  • the licensing requirements for the subject of the partial permit applied for are met, and
  • a preliminary assessment shows that there are no a priori insurmountable obstacles to the construction and operation of the entire facility with regard to the permit requirements.

Legal basis

Which documents are required?

  • Drawings, plans, expert opinions
  • Explanations

Requirements

  • The sub-project meets the requirements of the Federal Immission Control Act.
  • The subproject is not precluded by any other regulations under public law or occupational health and safety issues.
  • A preliminary assessment has shown that there are no a priori insurmountable obstacles to the construction and operation of the entire plant with regard to the permit.
    • The preliminary overall assessment is no longer binding if the factual or legal situation or individual inspections change in the course of subsequent partial approvals, thereby also changing the assessment. In this case, the authority may refuse the approval or further partial approvals.
