Local master planning process

Requirements

All parties whose immediate circumstances or interests are affected by local master planning have the right to take part and have a say in the process.

Instructions

The municipality will provide the appropriate instructions for the parties that would like to take part in the planning process.

Service background and legislation

The purpose of the local master plan is to lay out how the municipality plans to use regions and allocate land for housing, working life, traffic, recreation and other activities. Provisions on local master plans are contained in the Land Use and Building Act.

A municipality can draw up the local master plan alone or in cooperation with neighbouring municipalities (joint master plan).
