Procedure descriptions
Apply for interim evaluation of eco-account measure
Eco-account measures are voluntary measures to enhance nature and the landscape. They are already being implemented without having to be immediately linked to a construction project or intervention in nature. Such measures can be implemented by agricultural and forestry businesses, other private landowners or local authorities. These measures are stored in a special register. They can later be used as compensation for their own interventions in nature or sold to others.
Under certain conditions, an interim evaluation of the eco-account measure can be requested from the lower nature conservation authority that has approved the eco-account measure.
Responsible authority
The authority responsible for examining the application and granting approval is the lower nature conservation authority.
The lower administrative authority is
- if you live in an urban district: the city administration
- if you live in a rural district: the district administration
Details
Prerequisite
Consent must be granted if
1. there is a legitimate interest in the approval of the interim evaluation, for example because the area or the ecopoints from the measure are to be sold,
2. the required documents have been submitted using the prescribed electronic forms.
Procedure
As the organiser of eco-account measures, you can register for the online application "Kompensationsverzeichnis Baden-Württemberg" (KompVz BW) via the access for organisers of measures and then receive personal access.
- This access can be used to apply to the lower nature conservation authority for approval of the interim evaluation of an eco-account measure.
- The internet application "Kompensationsverzeichnis Baden-Württemberg" is an independent specialised procedure outside the Baden-Württemberg service portal.
- Once you have entered all the data and completed all the items in the task list, you can use the online application to submit the application for approval of the interim evaluation of the measures to the responsible lower nature conservation authority.
- The application for approval of the interim evaluation is given the status "applied for" when the application is submitted and is displayed to the lower nature conservation authority for review. In this status, the data can no longer be changed.
Deadlines
none
Required documents
The application for consent must include
- A justifiable interest in the interim assessment, for example because the ecopoints from the measure or the area of the measure are to be sold,
- information on the baseline status in relation to the impact areas, and in the case of biotope and soil-related impact areas also on the baseline value in ecopoints,
- as well as information on the status of the eco-account measure in relation to the impact areas and the evaluation in eco-points by an expert.
