Government Regulation
of 10 July 1951
extending the arable land area and securing land for agricultural production.
The Government of the Czechoslovak Republic orders pursuant to § 41 paragraph 2 of Act No. 241 / 1948 Coll., on the first five-year Economic Plan for the Development of the Czechoslovak Republic (Act on the Five-Year Plan):
In order to increase the standard of living of workers, agricultural production is increasing and it is therefore necessary to ensure that agricultural land, in particular arable land, is maintained for its purpose and that arable land is planned to be expanded.
(1) For arable land to be planned to be expanded, the district national committee shall determine the agricultural land to be converted into arable land. In determining such land, the Regional National Committee shall take account of proposals which it will require from local national committees in advance. The landowners which have been designated for conversion shall carry out their conversion into arable land within a period to be determined by the Regional National Committee.
(2) The County National Committees shall immediately take measures to ensure that arable land not cultivated is cultivated as arable land.
(3) The Regional National Committees ensure that the total arable land area is not reduced, on the contrary, as far as possible, when preparing the plan for the economic adjustment of land.
(1) It is not possible to convert without the consent of the District National Committee
(a) arable land on land otherwise cultivated or used for non-agricultural purposes (e.g. for the establishment of structures, playgrounds, swimming pools, parks or training grounds);
(b) agricultural land which is not arable, but which can be cultivated as arable, on land other than arable, or on land used for non-agricultural purposes;
(c) agricultural land which cannot be cultivated as arable land on land used for non-agricultural purposes.
(2) The agreement referred to in paragraph 1 (a) does not require the renewal of meadows and pastures on land which are temporarily cultivated as roles for reasons of reclamation; consent is also not needed to convert arable land into temporary meadows and pastures under the travopola procedure.
(3) The consent referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be required if it is already necessary under other provisions for the conversion of the authorisation of the Regional National Committee, which, however, shall also be subject to this Regulation.
(4) The Regional National Committee shall grant the approval referred to in paragraph 1 only if the fulfilment of the economic plan so requires, or exceptionally for other important reasons; it is governed by directives issued by the Ministry of Agriculture.
(1) On arable land, it is not possible to establish buildings outside the building district of the village.
(2) When procuring zoning and stopping plans or in determining construction circuits, care must be taken to ensure that buildings, playground, floaters, parks, and VS are planned mainly on land other than arable land. When procuring rendering projects and performing landscape rendering, care must be taken to ensure that the arable land area is expanded by removing landscape defects (e.g. sloping slope, soil deburring, submining).
(3) When building plans for forest protection belts (windmills), forest plans and plans for setting up ponds, care must be taken to ensure that land other than arable or arable land with a disproportionately low yield is used.
In cases where arable land has been found to be significantly reduced following the implementation of the economic and technical adjustments made under the plans which were drawn up before the application of this Regulation, the Regional National Committee, in cooperation with the single agricultural cooperatives, shall arrange for the necessary correction. This applies mutatis mutandis to the examination of the plans for forest protection belts, afforestation plans and pond setting plans not yet implemented.
If the holder of the arable land has withdrawn it after 24 April 1947 without the official consent of its purpose (e.g. by grubbing up, setting up a kit, construction or playgrounds), the district national committee shall initiate the procedure provided for in Article 3; if it finds that this transformation has been damaged by agricultural production or that the conversion has become speculative, it shall require the holder to return the land to its original purpose unless it is contrary to other reasons of general interest.
The provisions of this Regulation shall not apply to arable or other agricultural land which is under the administration or use of military administration or serves the purposes of defence or security of the State, or to arable or other agricultural land which will be designated for the purposes of military administration or for the purposes of defence or security of the State; However, care shall be taken to ensure that arable land other than arable land is used as far as possible for these purposes.
The permanent conversion of arable land into land otherwise cultivated is not subject to the procedure laid down in § 1 (2) of Act No. 55 / 1947 Coll., on aid to peasants in the implementation of an agricultural production plan, as amended by Act No. 132 / 1948 Coll.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication; they shall be carried out by the Minister for Agriculture in agreement with the participating members of the Government.
