Overview
- Regional planners cut the onshore-wind list from 65 to 58 priority areas after the Luftamt Südbayern and Deutsche Flugsicherung flagged flight-safety conflicts, deleting entire clusters in north and west Munich and dropping the Perlacher Forst site over the Klinikum Harlaching helicopter approach.
- Restrictions tied to the Oberpfaffenhofen airfield largely preclude turbines across Landkreis Starnberg, leaving only a handful of areas despite a state environment ministry clarification that previously assessed bird-density zones need not automatically block municipal wind plans.
- The current draft still meets the 2032 land‑area target on paper, with wind areas now totaling about 103 square kilometers across 21 clusters after public feedback earlier this year.
- The OVG Lüneburg’s late‑October ruling voiding Kirchdorf’s wind land‑use plan prompted immediate building applications for 15 turbines, yet the projects must clear avifauna surveys and face regional room‑quota limits that local officials say could constrain approvals.
- In a separate development, heritage authorities signaled approval for three planned turbines near Peiting despite proximity to the Wieskirche, with permitting now moving to impact checks on noise, shadow and other immissions.
