Coal-fired power plants, industrial plants, intensive livestock farming and similar facilities cause air pollution, noise, vibrations, etc. to a particularly high degree.

In order to protect people and the environment from harmful environmental impacts and to prevent the occurrence of harmful environmental impacts, such plants require a permit for construction and operation in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). The installations that require a permit due to their type and size are listed exhaustively in the Ordinance on Installations Requiring a Permit (4th BIm-SchV).

An installation that does not require a permit and that has already been erected or whose erection or major modification has already begun becomes subject to a permit when it is included in the list of installations requiring a permit in the Ordinance (4th BImSchV). In this case, the plant is subject to the approval requirements under immission control law and must be registered with the competent authority within three months of the respective 4th Federal Immission Control Ordinance coming into force.

• If the required documents are not already submitted with the notification, you can submit them to the competent authority within a further two months.
