LEGAL ISSUES OF SPATIAL PLANNING IN AGRICULTURAL AREAS IN THE LIGHT OF THE AMENDMENT OF THE SPATIAL PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 7 JULY 2023

Summary/Abstract: The author analyses the impact of the law reforming the spatial planning system on issues of shaping agricultural production space and, more broadly, on spatial management in rural areas. Passed on 7 July 2023, the Act represents the largest and most ambitious reform of the spatial planning system in at least 20 years. The new law introduces a number of provisions relating strictly to agricultural areas. The most significant change from this point of view is the expansion of the catalogue of values that must be taken into account by entities participating in spatial planning to include issues related to the shaping of agricultural production space and the development of agricultural production. The consequence of these changes will be an increase in the importance of agricultural space-shaping issues in the spatial planning process. The author also analyses other changes affecting agriculture, including, above all, a further extension of the protection of agricultural land from uncontrolled use for non-agricultural purposes.
