BPA contour

This data is kept daily and is therefore always up to date Summary: The plans for construction are defined in the Urban Planning Act (Decree on Spatial Planning, coordinated on 22 October 1996); the regional plan, the general plan of construction (A.P.A.) and the special plan of construction (B.P.A.). A special plan of construction shall indicate, for the part of the municipal territory concerned: the existing situation; the detailed destination of different parts of the territory for habitation, industry, agriculture or any other use; the route of any changes to be made to the existing road network; rules on the location, size and prosperity of buildings and fences, as well as rules on courtyards and gardens. It may also indicate: rules on the construction and equipping of roads, strips free of construction and planting; places intended for the construction of green spaces, forest reserves, sports fields and cemeteries, as well as public buildings and monuments; if a land consolidation or reparcelling proves necessary, the boundaries of the new plots, stating that those boundaries may be changed by the aldermen's council with the approval of the Flemish Government. The regulations listed above may include property restrictions, including building bans. Where a regional, regional or general plan exists, the special plan shall conform to and supplement its instructions and provisions. It can deviate from it if necessary. The layer 'Legally valid BPAs (current status)' published here only indicates that a Special Plan of Construction applies to the area in question, it provides general additional information such as the name of the BPA, the type of BPA, the date of approval, the authority that approved the BPA, but does not provide detailed information about destinations, urban planning regulations and the like. This information can be found in part in the layer 'BPA_RUP_base planes'. Also, the layer does not take into account the history; only the current state is displayed. Purpose: The plan outlines serve to support spatial planning and advice in Antwerp at all policy levels. It is an important information layer in the preparation, implementation and evaluation of the policy through spatial analysis, kartography, and automated file handling. Creation: Digitisation of the contours of the legally valid BPAs on the large-scale basic map of Antwerp. Selection from the planning register.
