Description
The project corporation “Verkehrslandeplatz Coburg” (Coburg civil airfield) is planning the establishment of an efficient and future-proof airfield in Coburg area with support of the city council, the district council and the Government of Bavaria.
The special permit for commercial air traffic at the existing airfield “Brandensteinsebene” is limited until end of 2019. So the intention of the project executing organisation is to get started with a new airfield not later than Jan. 1st 2020 at a future-proof location. Within the scope of the previous regional planning procedure in 2006, the location of Meeder-Neida area was selected as preferred location for the new airfield.
The Joint Venture Baader - Dorsch provided an environmental impact assessment study (Dorsch) as well as a landscape conservation plan (Baader) for the permit procedure. In addition the Joint Venture provided other environmental and wildlife conservation documents such as the environmental impact assessment “Natura 2000” and contributions to a survey and special study for preserving protected species, so called “saP”.
The environmental impact assessment study focuses on the subjects of protection human, ground, water, air / climate, landscape as well as cultural and material goods. The landscape conservation plan fulfils the requirements of the environmental protection interference regulations and develops measures covering nature conservation and wildlife protection, i.e. for the subjects of protection animals and plants.
