State land
Objective: protection of the interests of the state as a landowner
Legal basis: Planning Act, Building Code, State Assets Act § 8(4) (general principle of state asset management)
We analyze: whether there is any connection with state assets or unreformed land, whether the land may be necessary in the public interest, e.g. for the implementation of Rail Baltic, etc., and what the impact on the planned activities will be.
