Approval management

In order to accompany building and comparable approval procedures and to improve the service for applicants, the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg has set up an approval management. This is an additional service offered by the administration to improve the service.

The aim of this offer is to accompany and accelerate approval processes and to achieve clear procedural coordination of a project with only one interface for approval.

Service Promise for Applicants:

• Feedback on enquiries, requirements and information needs within a few days
• if necessary: on-site visit within a short period of time
• Preliminary examination of building applications within a short period of time
• Prompt confirmation of receipt to the applicant and, if necessary, request for missing or incomplete documents.
• Comments within a short period of time
• Decision on approval within a few weeks
• The time limit begins on the day the documents are submitted to the competent licensing authority; if promised deadlines cannot be met, the applicant will be informed immediately.
• Applicant will be assisted in developing alternative solutions where possible

Clear procedural coordination of a project with only one interface for approval, appropriate preliminary planning and monitoring of the planning process can result in efficiency advantages for companies in the district. In addition to the investors and the building owner, the architects, construction managers and specialist companies also benefit from the planning security ensured by this approach. This also makes economic sense, because a fast and transparent handling of the approval procedures releases investment sums at an early stage.

Service can also be improved for small and medium-sized commercial enterprises, industrial and craft enterprises in this way. The easy identification of contact persons and reliable framework conditions in the cooperation with the Waldeck-Frankenberg district and its respective specialised services ensure transparent and comprehensible administrative processes and decisions.

On the part of the applicants, the professional preparation of the approval procedures and the quality of the application documents are decisive for obtaining a decision quickly. By handling complex processes in a coordinated manner and making a decision within a certain time unit, the acceleration of the approval and construction procedures results in impulses for positive economic development.
