1.6 Main instruments of implementation
The arrangements of spatial plans are implemented either through issuing a building license (or a refusal) or a change of the present form of land use. Such permission may be issued also if there is no local spatial plan. Then, it is based on the decision about conditions of up-building. The other planning documents are rather of a coordinating, informative and even marketing character.
In such a situation the procedure of agreement is a basic instrument for implementation of stipulations of spatial planning acts. It is very complex and bureaucratic. It prolongs the time of drawing up planning documents even up to several years and significantly increases the costs. It also extends the waiting time for the building license causing numerous conflicts and dissatisfaction of investors.
