Requesting information on a development plan

You can request information about the content of a development plan from the responsible municipality.

You can request information about the contents of a development plan (urban land-use plan). The local authority is obliged to provide you with the requested information.

For example, a development plan specifies the following for a building area,

• how the land may be used,
• which construction method the buildings must have,
• what height the buildings may have.

The development plan also includes, for example

• Plan drawing consisting of various plans and maps showing the exact spatial division of the area,
• Reasons with, for example, details of the decisions and considerations, and
• an environmental report with an assessment of the impact of the development plan on the environment.
