LOCAL PLAN AND DETAIL PLAN DIFFERENTIATION

Abstract

With fast expanding of urbanization and migration of residents, and hence the development of construction and infrastructure, spatial planning with its legal aspects is becoming increasingly important. Spatial planning is a complicated process directed at spatial development, ensuring quality environment with quality infrastructure, rational use of material and human resources, which in turn improves state economy. In Latvia on 1 December 2011 the new Spatial Development Planning Law came into force, which introduced a new local government spatial planning tool – the local plan.
