Abstract
This paper analyzes the modes of termination of spatial plans, as the most important documents in spatial planning. According to the Spatial Planning Act, spatial plans are considered bylaws. However, bylaws also include 'other regulations' whose constitutionality and legality are subject to review by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia, as well as general acts whose legality falls under the jurisdiction of the High Administrative Court of the Republic of Croatia. The paper analyzes situations in which a lawful spatial plan ceases to be valid, as well as judicial review of unlawful spatial plans. Accordingly, the structure of the paper begins with an explanation of the legal nature of spatial plans and then, using comparative legal, normative, and teleological methods, systematically presents how both lawful and unlawful spatial plans cease to be valid.
