what the difference is between a "space plan" and a "spatial plan

what the difference is between a "space plan" and a "spatial plan

(OP)
Can someone please tell me what the difference is between a "space plan" and a "spatial plan"?

I am trying to translate the Dutch term "ruimteplan" / "ruimtelijke plan" ... in a text about an architecture and engineering company that designs VERY LARGE things, such as hospitals and public spaces, etc. For example, it says somewhere, "Through an architectural design competition, COMPANY X was appointed by the management to create a spatial plan, that outlines the care and development strategy for the next X years."

"space plan" -> http://www.google.co.uk/images?um=1&hl=en&biw=1360&bih=655&tbs=isch:1&sa=1&;q=space+plan&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=

"spatial" plan ->"http://www.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=spatial+plan&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&biw=1360&bih=655

Google Images seems to imply that "space plan" refers to buildings, whereas "spatial plan" to larger structures/areas of land. Is this at all correct?

Thanks!

Michael
