The legality of Dresden's once controversial Waldschlößchenbrücke bridge has been confirmed once again. As announced by the State Directorate of Saxony (LDS), the so-called planning approval decision to approve the bridge has been upheld. This was determined by the LDS in a supplementary procedure.
The planning approval decision approved the construction of the new bridge in 2004. Nature conservation associations filed a lawsuit against it. In 2016, the Federal Administrative Court ruled that a subsequent FFH (Fauna-Flora-Habitat) impact assessment and a species protection assessment had to be carried out. The state capital of Dresden applied for these supplementary procedures.
