The land use planning process of a municipality is a two-step process:
(1) The Preliminary Land Use Plan (“Flächennutzungsplan”, PLUP) sets the framework for the development and planned usage of the municipality’s area for the next 10-15 years.
(2) The Legally Binding Land Use Plan (“Bebauungsplan”, LBLUP) as the second step only applies for concrete plans to build in a defined area, e.g. preparation for building permission, setup of a commercial area etc., and is only carried out upon ad hoc requests.
The PLUP describes the general intention of the municipality how the region should be developed in the upcoming years and sets the overall framework for the land use. It is binding for the municipality and the specialist authorities, but does not directly result in any rights or obligations for the citizens. The PLUP is the basis on which LBLUPs are created and provides geographic information about building, construction, traffic areas and green spaces. It contains statements about existing and planned settlement areas, the existing infrastructure, transport links, green spaces, agricultural areas and ecological compensation areas, thus it represents the general intention of the municipality to use its areas.
Since it is the PLUP that defines the framework in general terms, while the LBLUP deals with individual cases, the partners will improve the first step and focus on PLUP to improve the policy instrument.

The Agriculture and Rural Development strategy aims at the sustainable development of Lithuania's agriculture and food sector by increasing the sector's added value and competitiveness. In addition, among many different goals, the strategy aims to contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation, including by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration, and by developing sustainable energy in the agricultural sector. The target groups under the strategy include various agricultural businesses, with a specific focus on promising farms (especially small and medium-sized farms). The strategy will be implemented throughout the whole of Lithuania. The plan includes investments in renewable energy from agriculture, forestry, and other renewable sources. Support is foreseen to investments in renewable energy production capacities, including biological. In addition, the strategy aims to support the deployment of innovation and advanced technologies. The application of advanced technologies and innovations, including those related to renewable energy, would provide opportunities to increase resource efficiency, reduce the environmental and climate impact of farming, increase farm resilience, and reduce the cost of farm agricultural production.

The PSP aims to establish the challenges for the next 6 years. It allows the Diputación to have a clear, orderly, integrated and agreed program with the actions and objectives to be developed, to improve the quality of life of citizens, environmental sustainability and the competitiveness of companies.
The objective is to define the provincial model that is to be achieved in the coming years from an integrated approach, establishing for this the Economic Challenges, the Social and Cultural Challenges, and the Territorial and Environmental Challenges that must be addressed through the actions that are scheduled.
A key element is the participation in the formulation of the Strategy by citizens and key agents in the territory. For this, the Diputación uses a series of consultation mechanisms, such as Local Experts Tables, Territorial Tables, Citizen Survey and Conference with Mayors. The objective is to reach a program agreed by all the parties involved in the future development of the province.

The territorial strategic plan identifies sustainability and the environment as priority areas for investment and enhancement. In particular, the key points are the following:
- Strengthen and innovate agriculture and above all green and sustainable agriculture;
- Promote a local model of sustainable development
- Integrate economic development and environmental protection
- Adopt an action plan for sustainable energy and the climate
- Create an integrated governance structure for environmental policies
In general terms, the NCI strategic plan represents a high-level policy tool capable of directing and orienting the priorities and use of resources of the ten municipalities that composed the NCI.
The Strategic Plan deals with the main sectors of local planning, trying to promote participatory and shared solutions between local cities, citizens and stakeholders in the following areas of activity:
-Economical progress
- Agriculture
- Tourism
-Training and Education
- Digital services
-Sustainable Development
- Environment and natural resources
- Social health system

The municipality develops and follows an Integrated Development Plan 2021-2027. It is the main strategic document of the municipality, which was developed with the strong participation of local stakeholders, and especially with the involvement of citizens, and representatives of the local business. This is the main policy document which will be followed by the municipality in the current programming period, 2021-2027.
Measure 1.1 “Investment in infrastructure and improvement of economic activities” of Priority 1 “Accelerate the growth of the local economy” from the IDP foresees concrete actions to address the improvement of agricultural infrastructure in the municipality.
Larger deployment of RES in MoS is envisaged by Measure 1.1, and Priority 2 “Territorial connectivity and Sustainable development” with Measure 2.6 “Improve the energy performance of public sector”, and Measure 2.7 “Improve the energy performance in the residential sector”.
MoS recognizes that without the active involvement of the local community, these objectives will not be achieved, and EAGER activities will support the local participatory process by monitoring and evaluating the efficiency and impact of the local legislation, projects and actions foreseen in the IDP from conception to implementation phase, and by involving all representatives at community level in these processes.

The province Vlaams-Brabant has been using a structural planning method for its spatial policy for more than ten years. This is a dynamic and continuous process of spatial vision and policymaking, aimed at the long term (2030 and beyond). Strategic projects and other instruments put this long-term vision into practice. The first spatial structure plan of the province of Flemish Brabant has been in force since October 7, 2004, in 2012 it was slightly revised. Large parts of the structure plan, such as the strategic principles, are still relevant, but needs to be updated to the current challenges.
All this means that the interpretation of spatial policy needed renewal, which was facilitated by the publication of the policy instrument 'Beleidsplan Ruimte’ issued in April 2022. New challenges are described: climate change and energy demand, demographics, endangered ecosystems and their services, mobility, economic developments. By defining a common mission, the Flemish answer to these challenges is translated into different strategies, outlined in the policy instrument. These will be implemented by a plan of action based on 4 pillars: 1) strengthening cores and the highly dynamic network, 2) qualitative development of a robust open space network, 3) activating productive landscapes with room for energy and 4) focus area-oriented work.

The Development Plan of Backa Palanka 2022-2030 defines a plan for long-term sustainable development. The basic idea is to improve the quality of life of citizens as well as the improvement of public infrastructure with investments and improvement of the environment.
