Challenging Planning Arrangements by Submitting Comments on Local Development Plans of Rural Areas in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper was to characterise and assess the comments submittedto draft local development plans covering rural areas. Lists of comments to 74 draftlocal development plans of four different types of rural areas were reviewed. The planswere adopted in the period 2010–2022. The lists contained a total of 2109 comments.In particular, the number of comments, their subject matter, as well as the occurrenceof comments of a collective nature were analysed. Draft local plans usually do not generateinterest among residents, even when they cover the area of a village or several villages.Planning arrangements in areas around provincial capitals are the most controversial, exceptfor the smallest ones. The desire to change the use of land for residential development,opposition to a potentially onerous development, and the location of roads were the mostcommon thematic categories of comments. Based on the three criteria, types of formal publicreaction to the draft plan were proposed. In more than 1/3 of all cases analysed, the reactionwas negligible. In addition, two types stand out: intensive collective thematically focusedreaction (in case of feeling threatened by an unwanted investment) and weak individualthematically focused reaction (usually expressing the aspirations of property owners tochange land use).
