  4. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Some basic facts about MV M-V Germany Area: 23.000 km² 357.000 km² Population: 1,7 million 82,5 million GDP per capita: 19.100 € 28.000 € Unemployment rate: 19,0 % 10,8 % Economic sectors: - agriculture 2,7 % 1,0 % - industry 19,6 % 29,9 % - services 77,7 % 69,1 % Growth rate: - GDP 3,4 % 3,1 % - Manufacturing industry: 9,7 % 4,4 % Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects

  8. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects Main Instruments of Spatial Planning in Germany • Formal Instruments: • Comprehensive plan for state terrritory • Territorial Impact Assessment of complex projects • Spatial Planning Statement on local plans or less complex projects 2.Informal Instruments: • Moderation of spatial use conflicts • Elaboration and concertation of nonbinding action programmes

  10. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects Which role does TIA play? • Check large-scale infrastructure projects at an early stage of planning • for compliance with the objectives of spatial planning • for mutual balance of conflicting objectives • for optimum planning solutions

  11. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects Which issues are checked in TIA? In principle: All relevant issues! TIA Economy Environment TIA Society Culture

  12. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects Who participates in TIA? All relevant stakeholders! • Project developer • Spatial planning authority • Sectoral authorities • Institutions and NGOs • Municipalities • General public

  13. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects Which projects are subjected to TIA? • Large-scale development projects... • which have considerable impact on regional development • where alternative options of route / location can be considered • E.g. highways, high-voltage lines, major windmill parks, large holiday villages...

  14. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects Which procedure does TIA follow? 1. Initial phase Documentation of project and impacts • 2. Assessment phase • Participation (stakeholders / public) • Optimization of project design 3. Final phase Conclusion of TIA: Fully / partly / not in compliance with objectives

  21. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects Planned Baltic Sea Pipe Line 2 parallel pipe lines Length: 1200 km Diameter: 1067 mm Pressure: 220 MPa Construction time: 2008 - 2012

  23. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects What are the benefits of TIA ? • managing conflictsbyearly participation of target groups • 2)minimizing negative impacts and costs • by optimizing the choice for location / routing / technical planning • 3)ensuring planning reliabilityby giving early and reliable information about realisation chances • 4)shortening the whole planning process by pre-checking crucial points • 5)securing spatial planning objectives • by the duty to take TIA results into account in the following process • 6) supporting local administrations • in case of large-scale investments

  24. Plan Coast Study Tour 7/2007 Bernhard Heinrichs: TIA for offshore projects summary: • TIA stands for... • harmonization of project with all public interests (incl. EIA) • stakeholder / public participation • pre-check at an early stage of planning • being conducted by a neutral authority
