DSi — Municipal RUP — Ground surfaces

This dataset contains the digital vector version of all planning elements — of the ground type — of the municipal spatial implementation plans, both the final approved and the one in format. The suspensions and destructions of the Council of State have also been incorporated. A plan element is an object by which the authorities concerned reflect the scope of (part of) the spatial option it has taken on the basis of certain urban planning regulations on the graphical plan, if it considers it necessary. This object is conceptually always traceable to a plane, line or point, to which a certain legend symbol has been assigned. In order to ensure the link between a ‘location’ and the ‘full set of regulations applicable at that location’, it is necessary to unravel a plan in some complementary geodata layers in vector format. This gives us an unambiguous link between prescription texts and their corresponding planning elements. In practice, ground plane regulations will always be linked to a flat-shaped plan element that in turn receives a flat-filling legend symbol, i.e. an opaque symbolism. Such rules may be both substitute and complementary in relation to other rules, depending on the existing decree margins on subsidiarity, hierarchy of plans, and the transition from the old legislation to the new ones. On top of the ground surfaces of the plan, other types of plan elements can be laid. These are classified according to geometry: planes, lines, points and according to the geometric accuracy of the plan elements (to be determined geometrically or as an indication). The planning elements are available in this dataset insofar as they have already been charged by the relevant local authority, which owns the data and is responsible for the content.
