Nature conservation inventory objects in building zone, Volketswil
Procurement and evaluation of building law and environmental data relating to zoning and building zone regulations
The project
Location: Volketswil ZH
Client: Private landowner
Phases: Real estate transaction
Duration: 2021
On a previously undeveloped property in the residential or building zone, there was a once man-made pond with banks and an extensive row of hedges. With regard to a planned property sale, various questions arose: Are these protected nature conservation objects and of what status? Can these areas still be built on? What replacement measures could be expected? Ecosens AG carried out the relevant clarifications with the utmost discretion and drew up a nature conservation report to answer all these questions. The report also included suggestions as to how the nature conservation inventory objects could be integrated into a future development or how appropriate replacement measures could be implemented on the property itself or externally.
Procurement and evaluation of building law and environmental data relating to zoning and building zone regulations, nature conservation inventories from the federal government, canton and municipality
Assessment of the significance of a possible construction project (building over, preservation/integration, minimum distances, water space, etc.)
Development of proposals for (partial) integration into a development concept and for ecological replacement and enhancement measures
Advising the landowner and the site developer, answering specific environmental questions
Preparation of a nature conservation report with treatment and assessment of the issues that arose
Challenges
High discretion and confidentiality, therefore no official inquiries to authorities possible
Only partially publicly accessible data basis on federal and cantonal geoportals
Residual risks due to discretionary powers of the licensing authorities and objections from private individuals and NGOs
