The person may cause the claim to become due by submitting a written request for compensation to the party obligated to pay (see Section 44(1) and (2) of the BauGB).

A claim for compensation expires if the claim is not made due within three years after the end of the calendar year in which the financial losses specified in §§ 39 through 42 of the BauGB occurred.

Irrespective of whether this development plan was adopted,

1. a violation of the procedural and formal requirements specified in § 214(1), sentence 1, nos. 1 through 3 of the BauGB that is deemed material under that provision,
2. a violation, significant under § 214(2) of the BauGB, of the provisions governing the relationship between the development plan and the land-use plan, and
3. significant defects in the balancing process pursuant to Section 214(3), second sentence, of the BauGB,

unless they have been asserted in writing to the City of Erlangen—Office for Urban Planning and Mobility—within one year of the publication of the bylaw, setting forth the facts justifying the violation.

In light of the prevailing housing shortage in Erlangen, the residential development area depicted in the 2003 Land Use Plan with Integrated Landscape Plan—which is currently in effect—was developed on the southwestern outskirts of Steudach. The planned development triggered a planning requirement within the meaning of Section 1(3) of the German Building Code (BauGB). To ensure orderly urban development and to establish building rights, a zoning plan was drawn up. To enable residents to live as undisturbed as possible in this area, which is affected by traffic noise from the A3 federal highway, appropriate noise abatement measures will be implemented. In addition, the plan ensures proper infrastructure development for the building lots.

The design of Development Plan No. 464 is based on the results of an urban and landscape planning ideas competition held in 2016. Due to Steudach’s specific location and structure, the new development area is ideally suited for single-family homes. To meet the diverse segments of demand as effectively as possible, the zoning plan establishes building rights for various types of homes, including single-family homes, townhouses, and duplexes. The urban planning objective was to develop a self-contained neighborhood that defines the outskirts of the town toward the south and west. In terms of its urban scale and architectural design, the plan area fits within the context of the existing development and does justice to Steudach’s identity as a village-like district. At the same time, the plan ensures the prudent use of land.
