Wind power in the session – Waldkirch

The Buchholz council voted, as did the local council afterwards.

(zg). In the run-up to the municipal council meeting, the Buchholz local council also discussed the procedure for the partial update of the land use plan (FNP) for the settlement of wind power. A majority of them supported the discontinuation of the proceedings that had been ongoing since 2011 and rejected the inclusion of a new one. He was thus also on the line of the municipal council, whose resolution has meanwhile failed in the same way.

In the local council, lawyer Johannes Kupfer first reminded the local council of the 2011 proceedings: of the attempt by the Agreed Administrative Community (VVG) Waldkirch-Gutach-Simonswald to identify concentration zones, the 52 proposed zones in the first disclosure, the subsequent change in the procedure and the 2500 objections that had been raised against it in the second disclosure – with the result that the proceedings were suspended.

After the factual and legal situation had changed, a new procedure with leaner planning should now be started – according to the submission of the administration. Several things were taken into account in this. Since the Uexküll Clinic in Glottertal had to be kept 1250 meters away, a large part of the “Luser” concentration zone and the most windy areas of the “Krankkopf” zone were omitted. With regard to the hang-gliders, the deletion of the Altersbach zone was also included. There should also be changes in the distances to individual farmsteads and small groups of residential buildings. A solution was also in prospect for the Simonswald landscape protection area, in that concentration zones could be “cut out”. In conclusion, Kupfer also pointed out the consequences if no new procedure for defining zones were initiated: “The VVG will then no longer have control,” he clarified.

Mayor Christian Ringwald (CDU) spoke out – following this – then also in favor of restarting the process. Nikolaus Wernet (DOL), on the other hand, had no confidence in the zoning plan. Angelika Bauer (DOL), who attended the meeting as a councilor from Buchholz, considers a new land use plan to be a “wind power prevention plan”.

In the end, four out of five councilors – three council members were absent – voted to discontinue the previous proceedings. The creation of a new sub-zoning plan for wind energy was rejected with one yes, two no and two abstentions. The third proposal, to publish that a new procedure would be drawn up and the necessary contracts to be awarded to the offices involved, was rejected with two votes in favor and three against.
