Detailed territorial plan (DPT) preparation in Mykolaiv and across Ukraine. Technical Bureau MREC brings together urban planning, surveying and land management for developers, landowners, investors and local communities. We review the site and existing plans, prepare the documentation and support it through the approval process.
Planning a development or considering a land purchase? Send the location, cadastral number if available, and a description of the proposed project. We will check whether a new DPT is needed, identify planning restrictions and explain the next steps.
When is a detailed territorial plan needed?
The need for a DPT depends on the existing planning documentation and the proposed development. We assess whether the planning arrangements for the territory need to be detailed before recommending a new plan.
Residential developments and housing estates
For an apartment complex, residential quarter or housing estate, a DPT coordinates building locations, access roads, parking, utilities, landscaping and local facilities. It can also help address planning arrangements for land around buildings managed by homeowners’ associations.
Commercial, industrial and warehouse sites
For retail and office developments, warehouses, industrial and agricultural facilities, we consider access, infrastructure, sanitary protection zones and other restrictions. The proposed development must be assessed against the territory’s permitted function.
Development outside settlement boundaries
A detailed territorial plan can cover land outside a city or village, including a territory intended for an individual investment project. Its planning boundary is established through the applicable procedure and need not match a single cadastral plot.
Local communities and redevelopment
We work with local authorities on residential quarters, public and recreational areas, and redevelopment of existing built-up territory. Our work for communities includes planning documentation commissioned through Prozorro public procurement.
DPT scope and deliverables
We prepare written and graphic planning materials under DBN B.1.1-14:2021. The package is defined for the territory and the approved planning brief:
- Explanatory report: site analysis, justification of planning solutions and key development indicators.
- Planning drawings: existing use, proposed development, restrictions, transport, infrastructure and landscaping.
- Land management component: land plot and land-use restriction information in the legally required scope.
- Strategic environmental assessment: the SEA report and support for the assessment procedure.
We address comments and support submission for approval. Once the council has made its decision, we hand over the approved materials in the format and scope agreed in the contract.
Planning issues covered by the DPT
- Building placement, height, density and setbacks.
- Street red lines and development control lines.
- Vehicle access, pedestrian routes and parking.
- Water, drainage, power and other engineering networks.
- Landscaping, recreation and community facilities.
- Protection zones, coastal strips and other land-use restrictions.
Documents and initial information for a DPT
What to send for a consultation and quotation
- The address or a map showing the territory.
- Cadastral number, area and cadastral plan, if available.
- Evidence of ownership or land-use rights, where these are already registered.
- The proposed development: type of buildings, intended use and approximate parameters.
- Existing council decisions, planning materials and correspondence with the planning authority.
What is needed to begin preparation
- A council decision to prepare the detailed territorial plan.
- A planning brief defining the territory and scope of work.
- Applicable planning documentation and information on plots, buildings and restrictions.
- An up-to-date topographic basis, utility information and other initial data for the territory.
We help prepare the brief, collect initial data and carry out the necessary surveying. If there is no council decision yet, the first step is a consultation on initiating the DPT process.
The public client, private investor and DPT funding
The relevant council’s executive body arranges preparation as the public client. A landowner, developer or investor can initiate the process and fund the work through the applicable arrangement. The designer prepares the documentation; the council decides whether to approve it.
- Public funding: the relevant budget and other lawful public sources.
- Private funding: an interested individual or company, through an appropriate arrangement with the public authority.
- Other sources: funding permitted by Ukrainian law.
How DPT preparation works
- Review and brief. We analyse the existing plans, required council decisions and initial data, then define the planning task.
- Surveying and site analysis. We prepare the topographic basis and examine existing development, utilities and restrictions.
- Planning and environmental assessment. We develop written and graphic materials, support SEA and participate in public consultation.
- Approval and handover. We address comments and support submission to the council, then hand over the approved package.
The indicative service timeframe starts at three months. Preparation of the draft and completion of the full approval process are distinct stages.
SEA, public consultation and council approval
Strategic environmental assessment
We prepare the SEA scoping statement, environmental report and materials for consultation with the competent authorities, and reflect the outcomes in the DPT.
Public consultation and hearings
The public client organizes consultation with the developer of the plan participating. MREC prepares the materials, takes part in hearings, reviews submissions and revises the planning proposals through the required procedure.
Approval of the detailed territorial plan
The relevant village, settlement or city council approves the DPT. We support submission and review. The overall schedule takes account of consultation, any revisions and the authority’s meeting schedule.
Detailed territorial plan cost and timeline
Indicative timeframe: from three months. The schedule depends on the territory’s size and complexity, current survey data, SEA, consultation results and the council’s review schedule.
DPT fees are quoted individually. The main cost factors are:
- Area and complexity of the proposed development.
- Availability and currency of the topographic basis.
- Scope of planning drawings, reports and land management materials.
- SEA and additional studies.
- Required revisions and procedural support.
Send the site information and available documents for a quotation. Once we have sufficient information, we analyse the situation and prepare a proposal within one to two working days.
DPT, master planning, land-use changes and building design
- Master plans and comprehensive spatial plans provide the wider framework; the DPT details arrangements for a particular territory. Master planning is a separate service.
- A change of designated land use requires a compatibility check and the relevant land procedure. DPT approval does not itself change a plot’s designated use. We can help with land-use changes.
- Construction design and cost estimates address a specific building. After the planning stage, we can continue with building design and cost documentation.
