Service background and legislation

Landowners may take charge of drawing up a proposal for the detailed shore plan of the shore areas that they own. Drawing up detailed plans for shore areas is the responsibility of the municipality. All parties whose lives or interests are affected by detailed shore planning have the right to take part in the planning process.

As a rule, buildings may not be constructed in shore zones of the sea or a body of water without a detailed shore plan or a local master plan that has been separately assigned as a basis for a building permit. Renovation and extension of existing buildings must also be in accordance with the plan.

Nature conservation, landscape values, recreational needs, water protection and the provision of water supply are also taken into account in the detailed shore planning process.
