Dear readers, The publication you have just opened is Update One of the Spatial Develop- ment Policy of the Czech Republic. The main reason for publishing this update was the need to react to new developments from the period of more than fi ve years that has passed since the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic was authorized in 2008. These developments are related to both physical planning and the work of Ministries and other authorities of central administration. New documents, policies and concepts referring to spatial development have been elaborated (such as Strategy of Regional Development of the Czech Republic 2014 to 2020 and Transport Sector Strategies) and we have had to respond to newly adopted EU documents on spatial development (e. g. EU Territorial Agenda 2020, the revised trans-European transport network TEN-T, the trans-Euro- pean energy network TEN-E and various projects of common interest). The decision to update the original wording of the 2008 Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Re- public was taken in 2013 by Government Resolution 596, which took into consideration the Report on the Application of the 2008 Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic and stipulated the factual assignment of the update. Update One was prepared by the Ministry of Regional Development in compliance with the Building Act and in cooperation with other Ministries and authorities of central and regional administration. Municipal- ities and the public were invited to submit written comments on the draft of Update One and its effects on sustainable spatial development. Remarks were invited from neighbouring countries as well. In most cases, Update One makes alterations to chapters dealing with development plans in transport and technical infrastructure. Some plans were omitted because they have already been realized (e. g. the Gazela gas pipeline) and others were classifi ed as being of regional, not nationwide importance. As to electro-energetics and the gas industry it was necessary to increase the capacity of some existing mains, mainly for higher reliability of transmission systems, and to suggest new areas and corridors for gas containers and pipelines. For development areas, differentiation between metropolitan development areas (Prague, Brno and Ostrava) and other development areas of nationwide importance was introduced. The delimitation of development areas was particularized in accordance with the Strategy of Regional Development of the Czech Republic 2014 to 2020. As for specifi c areas, i. e. those with specifi c qualities or problems, the specifi c area of the Krušné hory (Ore Mountains) has been enlarged by a south-western part of the Region of Karlovy Vary. Once altered according to the results of the discussion, Update One of the Spatial Development Pol- icy of the Czech Republic was submitted to the Government and approved by Resolution 276, dated 15 April 2015. Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic is an obligatory physical planning tool of nationwide effect. It is a concept document of a strategic nature focusing on the coordination of physical planning of Regions and Municipalities and the coordination of departmental policies and concepts affecting spatial development. I would like to stress that Update One of the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic has uni- fi ed the national development plans with those of European importance. New development plans have been implemented in consideration of the EU documents mentioned. I expect that Update One of the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic will contribute to im- proved spatial planning and spatial development in this country. I thank all those who have participated in the preparation of this document.

18 3. DEVELOPMENT AREAS AND DEVELOPMENT AXES

3 DEVELOPMENT AREAS AND DEVELOPMENT AXES

3.1 RESOURCES (32) Development areas and development axes are delimited in territories where higher demands on changes within an area exist due to concentration of activities of international and republic signif- icance. (33) In the development areas and development axes there is necessary to create, maintain and coordinate stand-by spaces to cover the increased requirements on changes within an area. While respecting the republic’s planning priorities there shall be enabled adequate land use in there and its values shall be preserved. (34) Increased demands on changes within development areas and development axes require active cooperation of all public administration departments, particularly of the affected bodies protecting public interests in accordance with special regulations, while solving planning tasks and meeting respective recommendations. (35) Development areas include municipalities affected by development dynamics of the main centre (regional city) and of co-inﬂ uencing secondary centres. (36) Development axes include municipalities where increased demands on changes within an area exist or may be anticipated due to transport relation to existing or prepared capacity roads and railways, at co-inﬂ uence of development dynamics of respective settlement centres. At the cross-sections of development axes the municipalities may be included in any of these development axes. Municipalities that are already included in development areas shall not be included in development axes.

4 SPECIFIC AREAS

4.1 RESOURCES (64) Specifi c areas are delimited in the places where, compared to other CR areas, sustainable development problems occur in a long term period, i.e. signifi cant differences in area conditions for favourable environment, for economic development, and for area community cohesion (stated in specifi cation reasons). At the same time such areas represent spaces with specifi c values or specifi c problems of international or republic signifi cance, or of a signifi cance that exceeds the region territory. (65) Specifi c areas include municipalities where, according to ascertained facts, the need of sustainable development problems solution is most pressing. Specifi c areas are delimited in order that regions, ministries and other central administration bodies can create conditions there, within their powers, for elimination of the problems aiming at sustainable development of the area in accordance with planning tasks and goals defi ned by the Building Act, while respecting republic’s planning priorities and preservation and protection of nature, cultural and civilization area values.

5 CORRIDORS AND AREAS FOR TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

5.1 RESOURCES (75) Transport infrastructure as a part of public infrastructure is established and utilised for a public benefi t. The purpose of transport corridors delimitation within the CR SDP is to create possibilities in the area for the location of e.g. roads, railways, water ways, and airports that infl uence the Czech Republic area development, which signifi cance exceeds one region territory, and that enable connection of basic transport network within the CZ area to neighbouring countries. The binding delimitation of the corridor of transport infrastructure in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic means the sites, listed in the text part, to be connected. The graphic diagrams or details of technical parameters of the plan, if given, are of approximate meaning. If there occurs an overlap of an area or corridor for the purpose defi ned in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic with a different purpose not defi ned in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic or a plan for which a spatial reserve is delimited there shall not be set out the conditions that would prevent or signifi cantly complicate the implementation of the project in the planning documentation as defi ned in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic, if these conditions do not arise from the condition or limits of use of the territory. (76) Various transport infrastructure systems require coordination of their location within the area, with respect to area values protection and development and therefore fi nding qualitative better and more sensible passage through the area. Transport infrastructure coordination is necessary in both developed and undeveloped areas. (77) In the section “road transport” the development intentions, extending the existing roads or the parts of roads under construction where the parameters have been specifi ed already, are marked with “D” or “R”. Development intentions related to new capacity roads, where the parameters are still to be specifi ed, are marked with “S”. (78a) Within the framework of spatial planning it is necessary to ensure the delimitation of areas, corridors and spatial reserves for localization of the intentions of transport infrastructure.

6 CORRIDORS AND AREAS FOR TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND RELATED DEVELOPMENT INTENTIONS

6.1 RESOURCES (134) Technical infrastructure as a part of public infrastructure is constructed and utilised for public benefi t. Systems of operating facilities, lines, objects, structures and technical infrastructure areas require coordination within the area, also with the respect to protection of this area for future generations. Purpose of delimitation of corridors and areas for technical infrastructure within the CR SDP is creating spatial conditions, i.e. establishment of stand-by spaces for locations of power and gas networks, product lines (oil, products), water supplies and sewage systems, as well as spaces for waste management, that infl uence the CR area development, that exceed a single region area by their importance, and that enable connection of technical infrastructure systems to neighbouring countries’ systems. (135) Routes of individual technical infrastructure systems are the bearers, among others, of the land use limits (protection regimes), thus the coordination of their location is necessary both in the developed and in the undeveloped areas, particularly in relation to transport infrastructure. (136) Sources of individual technical infrastructure systems (power stations, transformer and switching stations, heating plants, district heating plants, gas tanks, compressor stations, oil tanks, oil terminals, water reservoirs, spring areas, water treatment plants, water purifi cation plants, waste deposits, incineration plants etc.) are very expensive investments, both fi nancially and with the regard to the grounds required. Within the framework of spatial planning, it is necessary to ensure the delimitation of areas, corridors and spatial reserves of the development plans of technical infrastructure. The binding delimitation of the corridor of transport infrastructure in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic is the sites listed in the text. Graphic diagrams or details of technical parameters of the intention, if given, are of approximate meaning. If there occurs an overlap of an area or corridor for the purpose defi ned in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic with a different purpose not defi ned in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic or the plans for which is delimited a spatial reserve, there shall not be set out the conditions that would prevent or signifi cantly complicate the implementation of the project in the planning documentation as defi ned in the Spatial Development Policy of the Czech Republic, if these conditions do not arise from the condition or limits of use of the territory.
