In Poland, we are currently witnessing the process of shaping an integrated development planning model, construed in a diverse manner. The concurrently ongoing reform of the spatial planning system has not solved all problems relating to the spatial chaos. The implementation of the INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC with regard to technical recommendations for the land use data theme has not been completed yet. Under such conditions, the creation of a graphic part of a general local plan (POG) presents a material challenge. These issues are addressed in a series of three articles under the common title Harmonisation of data sets on land use. Conclusions from selected analytical-empirical research conducted in the years 2011–2013 and 2016–2021 shall be presented, pointing out the constrictions in access to data on the existing land use, as well as on the location of investment decisions. Regulations affecting the scope and form of the graphic part of the general local plan shall also be analysed, practical aspects of creating POG, as well as legislative and technical recommendations shall also be presented, with particular consideration of the need for clarification of the mandatory components of the plan pertaining to the informative layer with regard to separate regulations. This article addresses the growing importance of integrated development planning, which requires data sets on land use of high quality and expresses the author’s opinion on the extent to which the above-mentioned recommendations have been implemented in Polish conditions.
