Description

Prerequisites

The requested preliminary decision will only be granted if the project is subject to approval. Furthermore, the excavation must not conflict with any regulations under public law that are to be examined in the approval procedure.

A preliminary decision may only be issued for individual issues of the excavation project. It cannot therefore be issued to the effect that compliance with all public-law regulations is established.

Procedure

Written submission

• Whether the neighbors must be involved before submission depends on whether an environmental impact assessment must be carried out. If the latter is the case, you do not have to involve the neighbors yourself, as they have the opportunity to comment as part of the environmental impact assessment. Otherwise, you must first present the excavation plan to the neighbors of the excavation property for their approval. Any consent must be in writing.
• After involving the neighbors, if necessary, submit the application for a preliminary decision with the required documents to the municipality in whose area the excavation site is located. If the municipality is not itself the lower excavation authority, it will forward the application together with its statement to the lower excavation authority.
  Exception: In the area of responsibility of the lower excavation authorities that allow digital submission (currently the districts of Altötting, Aschaffenburg, Augsburg, Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, Cham, Ebersberg, Fürstenfeldbruck, Hof, Kronach, Kulmbach, Main-Spessart, Neumarkt i.d.Opf, Neustadt a.d.Waldnaab, Pfaffenhofen a.d.Ilm, Straubing-Bogen, Traunstein and Weilheim-Schongau) you must also submit the written application directly to the lower excavation authority. The involvement of the municipality - if required - is carried out by the lower excavation authority.
• Submit the application in triplicate and using the prescribed forms.
• An oral application is not possible.
• The lower excavation authority (district offices, independent cities) decides on the application, if necessary after carrying out the environmental impact assessment.

Digital submission

Digital submission of applications for a preliminary decision is currently not yet possible throughout Bavaria. This can only be done at certain lower excavation authorities. You can find out which these are in § 1 Digital Construction Application Ordinance. You will find the link under the tab "Legal basis".

• The application can be submitted digitally using the online wizard, if necessary after involving the neighbors.
• The given forms are replaced by the queries in the online assistant.
• The excavation plan is uploaded in the online assistant in electronic form (files in PDF format).
• Signatures are replaced by authentication using the "BayernID" user account.
• The digital application is sent directly to the lower excavation authority. If the lower excavation authority is not itself a municipality, it carries out the involvement of the municipality.

Special notes

A preliminary decision is primarily useful for clarifying individual problematic aspects of an excavation.
