Track 1 land layout: - Land development projects are set up by the Flemish Government in accordance with the Decree of 28 March 2014 on land development. At the establishment, the area of the land development project is demarcated. For each land development project, one or more land development plans are adopted.The Flemish Land Agency applies land development in order to set up areas integrally in accordance with the area destination (nature, agriculture, recreation, housing, etc.) that has been granted according to the spatial planning and provides a widely deployable ‘instrument case’ for this. - Land development projects set up before the entry into force of the Decree of 28 March 2014 are in implementation of Article 6a and Articles 11 to 14 of the Decree of 21 December 1988 establishing the Vlaamse Landmaatschappij. This Decree defines the concept of ‘land development’ as ‘Promoting, preparing, integrating and supervising measures, actions and works that emanate from the competent authorities and are aimed at safeguarding, revaluing and making rural areas more suitable, in accordance with the purpose assigned by the legislation on spatial planning.’ One or more land development plans were drawn up for each land development project. The new regulations of 2014 on land use provide for a transitional arrangement for projects that have started before the entry into force of the new regulations. This transitional arrangement means that the land development plans that have not yet been submitted to the municipal council for advice on 1 November 2014 will be drawn up as land development plans in accordance with the new land development regulations. Track 2 land layout: Other authorities or partners of the Flemish Land Agency can also use the furnishing instruments from the instrument case to achieve certain objectives on the ground. Both the Flemish Government and the provincial or municipal level of government can decide to do so. The initiating body will then start working in consultation with the VLM. Instrument case: The instrument case is widely applicable in the field of design, management, land acquisition, land mobility and accompanying policy. This includes, among other things, furnishing works, reparcelling and exchange of use. Since the new legislation, this has included: reparcelling under the law and the right of pre-emption. These instruments have an extensive geographical component and are therefore included separately in the product dataset Landinrichting.In the brochure Landinrichting (https://www.vlm.be/en/SiteCollectionDocuments/Landinrichting/Brochure landinrichting web.pdf) you can read exactly what landinrichting means today, what the different procedures are, and what the role of cities, municipalities, provinces, governments, individuals and the Flemish Land Agency is within landinrichting.
