Bayern

In July 2021, the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Construction and Transport, in close technical coordination with the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection, issued a statement on the climate-sensitive handling of precipitation water in urban land use planning, in particular the determination of the base area in relation to "rock gardens/gravel areas", as a result of numerous enquiries from local authorities, planning offices and building supervisory authorities.

In response to the letter to lower building supervisory authorities, governments and municipal umbrella organizations, bdla Bavaria would like to advance the factual discussion and on September 25 drafted a statement with which the professional association explicitly calls for a differentiation of gravel gardens from rock gardens, gravel mulch and gravelly soil substrates.
