Abstract

The agricultural land resources protection authorities may impose a change in the cultivation of agricultural land in cases where the land management with the present plant species leads to: a) the danger of erosion of the land on the property in question and on surrounding properties; b) a detriment to the purity and quality of water in water courses and water reservoirs; c) a danger to surface or underground sources of potable water, natural medicinal waters and sources of natural mineral table waters; d) failure to comply with rights and obligations with regard to the protection of nature and the landscape; e) damage to surrounding properties or to the favourable physical, biological and chemical properties of the soil; f) danger to the food chain. In order to ensure the protection of agricultural land resources, the preparation of land use planning documentation and basic land use planning documents should be based on: a) the organization of the agricultural land resources in the territory, the hydrological and run-off conditions and the network of special-purpose agricultural roads; b) a plan for terrain modifications and delimitation of the currently built-up areas in the given municipality; c) the plant culture (type of property) of the agricultural land on the basis of assignment to evaluated ecological land units; d) the existence of non-agricultural land required to support agricultural production and fish ponds for fish farming or waterfowl; e) the existence of agricultural land on which investments have been made into the soil for the purpose of increasing fertility, e.g. amelioration and irrigation facilities.
