Social discussion for the spatial planning of the territory of Sigulda region has started

The spatial planning of Sigulda region is developed by the land surveying and the spatial planning company “METRUM”. It is planned to finish the work by 15 October 2012. The development of the spatial planning is related to the Administrative-territorial reform that took place in July 2009 as a result of which the territory of Allaži parish has been included in the territory of Sigulda region, by merging two local municipalities with different spatial planning and demands to the construction work and the use of territory.In summer 2011 the specialists of “METRUM” made the survey of the territory of Sigulda region in nature and worked out the first edition of the spatial planning and the environmental review project in the autumn. In cooperation with the local government of Sigulda region it was decided to develop the individual protection zones for 11 architectural monuments of Sigulda region as well, which are located in the territory of Sigulda town, and to Allaži church in Stīveri parish, too.The Project Manager of “METRUM”, the architect, Māra Kalvāne stresses that significant attention was paid to the development of the population structure in Sigulda region in the course of elaboration. “As a result of evaluation the territories of several parishes were reduced and the border of Sigulda town was made more precise. In cooperation with the Construction Board of Sigulda region, the administration of Allaži parish and the landscape specialist, the professor, Aija Melluma the analysis and precision of the current landscape plan of Sigulda was made and, in addition, valuable landscapes in Allaži parish were identified. In the course of the work the territories of existing production objects and the possibilities to enlarge them were evaluated, and new production territory in the former location of the army depots basis in Allaži near Plānupe was defined,” explains the specialist.“METRUM” by now has prepared the spatial planning of many municipalities in Latvia. In 2011 the company worked out the spatial planning for Kandava region for the years 2011–2023 and the spatial planning of Ikšķile region for the years 2011–2023. Currently “METRUM” elaborates the spatial panning for Jaunpils region, Koknese region, Nīca region, Aizpute region, Saldus region and Saulkrasti region.
