Biogas and Biometan: 🚀 Building Permit - Your Key to a Biogas Plant! 🔑

A building permit is your magic ticket to the world of biogas investments! Without this document, don't even think about breaking ground. 🛑⚠️


🎯 Purpose of the Building Permit Decision

A building permit is nothing but a green light for your investment. It ensures everything complies with the law and doesn't disturb the peace of your neighbors. For an investor, it's the first step towards great achievements! 🌍💡


🛠️ When Do You Need This Super Decision?

A building permit decision is like a concert ticket - you can't miss it. You need it when you already have:

  • an environmental decision (if required);

  • a zoning decision (if there is no Local Spatial Development Plan);

  • conditions for connecting to the power or heating network.


A biogas plant without this document? Forget it! Unless it's a micro-installation producing up to 200,000 m³ of agricultural biogas per year. Then you have a free pass. 🌱👍


📄 What Must Be in the Building Permit Application?

The application must include:

  • Your details - those who ask, don’t get lost!

  • The content of the request - what exactly do you want to build.

  • Construction design (3 paper copies or digital) - your action plan!

  • Statement of property rights - because building must be done on your own land.

  • Proof of stamp duty payment - nothing comes for free.

  • Power of attorney (if you're acting through an attorney).


📜 Application Process

After submitting the application, the bureaucratic dance begins - authorities do their thing, and you wait for the verdict. Parties to the proceedings are you, the neighbors, and anyone affected by your investment. 💃🕺


⏳ How Long Does It Take?

The permit should be issued within 65 days. Just enough time to prepare for a new episode of your favorite series! 📺🍿


🏢 Who Issues the Decision?

The district governor. He holds the fate of your investment in his hands. 👨‍⚖️


⏳ How Long Is the Permit Valid?

You have 3 years to start the construction. If the construction break exceeds 3 years, the permit loses its validity. ⏰


💰 How Much Does It Cost?

  • Power of attorney: 17 PLN - coffee with a cake ☕🍰 or only coffee.


📝 How to Appeal?

You have 2 weeks to appeal to the governor. If that doesn't help, a complaint to the Provincial Administrative Court, and then to the Supreme Administrative Court. 🎢
