Three exceptions to planning security for Bremgarten

Seven years of work, two appeals, a decision by the cantonal government and now Bremgarten's new land use plan has been almost fully in force since February 2, 2026. Almost, because the cantonal government sent three points back to the town. The municipal assembly will decide again in June.

Bremgarten began the overall revision of its land use planning over seven years ago. Regulations and documents were revised in several stages, always with the involvement of the population. In October 2024, the municipal assembly approved the revision, followed by approval from the cantonal government in December 2025. Two appeals lodged against this were both rejected.

Rezoning as the centerpiece
The most important measure in the settlement area is the rezoning of the Oberebene area from a pure work zone to a new residential and work zone. At the same time, a core zone for the development of the station area will be established and the Oberebene work zone will be strengthened as an economic focus of regional importance. This creates scope for investment and urban development.

New regulations for cultural land and the old town
The cultural land plan establishes binding overarching open spaces and water areas. This includes the water and migratory bird reserve of national importance. The regulations for building in the old town were also reviewed and clarified. An important signal for property owners and investors who need planning security.

Three points still open
The government council sent back three amendments. The non-protection of two properties at Birrenbergstrasse 10 and Glärnischweg 5/7 and the proposed deletion without replacement of a paragraph on roof breakthroughs in the building and usage regulations. In November 2025, the city council had already secured a loan of 200,000 francs for the reprocessing.

Municipality to decide in June
The municipal assembly will meet again on June 11, 2026. This is when the three rejected items are to be finally resolved. Bremgarten is nearing the end of a long planning process and the start of a new phase of urban development.
