Detailplaneeringuid

Detailplaneeringuid is a term used in digital planning environments to denote the unique identifier of a detailed zoning plan (detailplaneering or detaljplan). The UID serves as a permanent reference that links a specific plan document, its geographic representation, decisions, and metadata across planning databases and GIS systems. It is used by municipalities, planning portals, and national or regional registries to retrieve the authoritative version of the plan, check status, and apply amendments.

Format and management: The exact form of a detailplaneeringuid varies by system and jurisdiction; it can be a UUID, a municipal code, or another alphanumeric string. There is no universal standard. The UID is typically created or assigned when the detailed zoning plan is prepared or adopted and is maintained through the plan’s life cycle. Depending on the system, changes to the plan may preserve the old UID for historical reference or generate a new UID for amended versions.

Role and usage: In practice, the UID enables interoperability between GIS layers, document management, and public interfaces. It supports data exports, API queries, and linking to the plan's map, conditions, decision letters, and revision history. It does not itself confer any planning authority or legal effect—the content and legal effect reside in the detailed plan document and applicable planning laws.

Context: The practice arises within the Norwegian planning framework, where detaljplaner are part of the Plan- og bygningsloven, and details about detailplaneeringuids are made publicly available through municipal planning portals or national data services.
