Die Bedeutung gesetzlicher Moratorien für den Ausbau der Windkraft journal article

Jochen Kerkmann, Jessica Schröter, Elisabeth Huber

Zeitschrift für Europäisches Umwelt- und Planungsrecht, Volume 20 (2022), Issue 3, Page 289 - 303

This article analyses the conflict between the interest in the governance of wind energy use by planning, which i.a. in the past was accounted for with so called „wind energy moratoriums“, and the interest in a timely expansion of renewable energy sources. This examination's staring point are the principles concerning governance of wind energy use by planning. Subsequently, the wind energy moratoriums heretofore implemented by law are presented and their factual impact is shown. This includes an examination of the current legal reform regarding the use of wind energy on land. Thereafter follows an examination of other instruments available for securing a plan, which avail the same effect as wind energy moratoriums. The article closes with a constitutional assessment of wind energy moratoriums.


Das Ende des beschleunigten Verfahrens nach den §§ 13a und 13b BauGB?! journal article

The Federal Building Code (Baugesetzbuch) allows, under certain conditions, that development plans are adopted by recourse to an accelerated procedure. This procedure involves far reaching advantages, not only in relation to time and cost. It implies that the administration may refrain from early public participation and from conducting an environmental audit. Furthermore, development plans adopted on the basis of the accelerated procedure may deviate from the guidelines included in the preparatory land-use plan. Finally, in the accelerated procedure, interventions in nature and landscape that are to be expected due to the preparation of the development plan are considered to have taken place or to have been permitted prior to the planning decision. However, the choice of the accelerated procedure is subject to strict legal requirements. In particular, § 13a para. 1 sentence 4 of the Baugesetzbuch stipulates for reasons of European and environmental law that a development plan is inadmissible under the accelerated procedure if it establishes the admissibility of a project that is subject to an obligation to carry out an environmental impact assessment. The question therefore arises as to whether there is any room in practice for the application of the accelerated procedure. This article is dedicated to this issue.


Präklusion = Präklusion? journal article

Zum Entwurf eines Gesetzes zur Anpassung des Umwelt-Rechtsbehelfsgesetzes und anderer Vorschriften an europa- und völkerrechtliche Vorgaben im Hinblick auf nationale Präklusionsvorschriften

Jochen Kerkmann, Jessica Schröter

Zeitschrift für Europäisches Umwelt- und Planungsrecht, Volume 15 (2017), Issue 2, Page 126 - 140

The ECJ ruled in the Judgment C 137/14 – EU Commission vs. Germany of 15 October 2015 – that it is not compatible with the EIA Directive and the Industrial Emissions Directive to exclude a NGO from the legal procedures with objections not raised in administrative procedures as provided in Art. 73 para. 4 Administrative Procedure Act (VwVfG) and Art. 2 para. 3 Environmental Appeals Act (UmwRG). That leads to the question, if according to this judgement all German preclusion rules are now illegal in respect of the European law. This article tries to distinguish between the different kinds of German preclusion rules and to analyze, if the ECJ’s judgment is transferable to each of them. In this context it scrutinizes critically the draft of the amendment concerning the Environmental Appeals Act and other statutes.


Die „Umsetzung“ der FFH-Richtlinie in Deutschland journal article

Jochen Kerkmann

Zeitschrift für Europäisches Umwelt- und Planungsrecht, Volume 3 (2005), Issue 6, Page 6
