DSI - Special Plans of Construction - Ground Plans

This dataset contains the digital vector version of all plan elements - of the type of ground planes - of the special plans of construction. A planning element is an object by which the relevant government reflects the scope of (part of) the spatial option it has taken on the basis of certain urban planning regulations on the graphic plan, if it deems it necessary. This object is conceptually always traceable to a plane, line or point, to which a certain legend symbol has been assigned. To ensure the link between a ‘site’ and the ‘full set of requirements applicable at that site’, it is necessary to unravel a plan in some complementary geodata layers in vector format. In this way we obtain an unambiguous link between prescriptive texts and their associated planning elements. Ground plane rules will in practice always be linked to a plane-shaped plan element that in turn receives a plane-filling legend symbol, i.e. an opaque symbolism. This type of regulation can be both a replacement and a complement to other regulations, depending on the applicable statutory margins regarding subsidiarity, hierarchy of plans, and the transition of plans from the old legislation to the new one. On top of the ground planes of the plan, other types of planning elements can be laid. These are classified according to geometry: planes, lines, points and according to the geometrical accuracy of the planning elements (to be determined with geometric precision or as an indication). The planning elements are available in this dataset insofar as they have already been uploaded by the relevant municipal authority, which owns the data and is responsible for the content.
