Action Permit

Instead of a building permit, an action permit may be applied for in the case of structures and installations, when deciding the permit issue does not in every respect require the steering otherwise necessary in building.

In addition, an action permit is required to install or locate a structure or installation that is not considered a building, if the action has an impact on nature, townscape or landscape or on the use of surrounding land areas.

An action permit is required in instances such as installing masts or solar panels that alter the appearance of townscape. An action permit is also required for measures altering the appearance of a building when a building permit is not required, and for rearrangement of dwellings in a residential building. The municipality may in its' building ordinance exclude the need for an action permit in certain lesser activities. When deliberating an action permit application, the provisions pertaining to the preconditions for a building are applied, as appropriate [Building Permit⁠].
