Puchheim will be left empty-handed in the priority areas for wind power. However, the Committee for Urban Development and the Environment would like to ensure that an area is still included.
There are two reasons against this: wind turbines could disrupt a nearby earthquake measuring station, and they would also affect the outer safety ring of Oberpfaffenhofen Airport. It remains to be seen whether the city will find the regional planning association's open ears. It is the only chance for Puchheim to build a wind power plant “without the bureaucratic effort of a land-use plan,” says the city's second mayor Manfred Sengl. The result was unanimous, according to the city council's mayor Norbert Seidl (SPD) The city's third mayor Thomas Hofschuster spoke from the CSU parliamentary group. He said it is better to designate more areas than required by law (in Bavaria this means: 1.1 percent of the area by 2027 or 1.8 percent by 2032)
