WP3 Identification and analysis – public planning Authors: Andreas Hänel, Alexandra Korkosz, Jan Hupka Page 1 Urban industrial symbiosis in public planning and building permits in Poland / Pomeranian Voivodship 1. Description about the legal framework of public planning and building permits The Polish administrative system operates on three self-governed piers. The municipality (gmina) is the principal unit (lowest level) of territorial division in Poland. The next one is the county (powiat). The major territorial and administrative unit is called the voivodship (województwo). The municipalities are obliged to plan and organize energy supply and they are required to develop their own development strategies including strategies for renewable energy and waste management. The plans and strategies prepared by municipalities must be consistent with the national energy policy where its consistency is controlled on the voivodship level. In order to realise any kind of building investment, the application and attachments are submitted to the office of the body (chancellery), who has the right competences for the planned investment, which in the case of Gdańsk is the local office of Gdańsk (Urząd Miasta Gdańsk ).
