Retour au fil d'actualité
The Swiss Parliament has agreed to allow the conversion of unused agricultural buildings into residential buildings under certain conditions. This is part of the revision of the Space Planning Act. The revision also allows the demolition and reconstruction of restaurants built before 1980 outside the building zone, as well as their expansion. Incentives are to be provided to encourage the removal of unused buildings from the landscape. The main focus of the law revision is a stabilization goal, which requires the cantons to maintain the number of buildings and the extent of sealing outside the building zone. In addition, the Parliament agreed that non-location-bound uses outside of building zones should only be allowed in mountain areas. The debate on the installation of mobile phone antennas was referred back to the Council of States. The revision of the Space Planning Act is also the indirect counter-proposal to the Landscape Initiative. It is unclear whether the initiators are willing to withdraw their request after the recent decisions of the Parliament.nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
