10. Commencement

Adopted by Royal Decree. 25. March 2011, ref. Law 27 June 2008 no. 71 on planning and building regulations (Planning and Building Act) § 6-2. Promoted by the Ministry of Environment (now Ministry of Local Government and Regional Development).

1. purpose

The purpose of these guidelines is to clarify the national land policy in 100-meter belt along the sea. The aim is to safeguard public interests and avoid unfortunate construction along the waterfront, ref. The prohibition of measures in the 100-meter belt along the waterfront in § 1-8 of the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71 (Planning and Building Act). Conduct a stronger geographic differentiation, where protection is done stringent in key areas where pressure on land is high.
In the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71 is the provision prohibiting construction and other measures in the 100-meter belt along the sea clarified and tightened. In § 1-8 first paragraph states explicitly that it in 100-meter belt care shall be taken to the natural and cultural environment, recreation, landscape and other public interests.
Guidelines elaborate Act and state guidelines for local authorities in planning.

2. scope

Guidelines apply in 100-meter belt along the waterfront, with the range imposed by the Planning and Building Act § 1-8. The prohibition in the 100-meter belt does not apply where another building limit stipulated in the land-zoning. Prohibition does not apply where the municipality has issued regulations under the Act § 11-11, no. 4 to erect the necessary buildings, smaller facilities and circulation to serve agricultural, husbandry, fishing, aquaculture or passage at sea.
All municipalities are legally obliged to have an updated municipal. In 100-meter belt along the sea is particularly important fulfillment, because the exemption for building, construction, construction or enclosure that is necessary for agriculture lapses later than 1 July 2013.
Policy guidelines for planning in coastal and marine areas in Oslo area will continue in the new policy section. 5, with some changes. The guidelines for the Oslo fjord region also applies to coastal waters and areas behind the 100-meter belt, and this work will be continued in chap. 5.3.1 below.
Land use on land and sea should be seen in context, cf. Planning and Building Act § 11-7 second paragraph. 6, § 11-11, no. 4 and 6 and § 12-5, second paragraph. 6. Land use in 100-meter belt should be seen in the context of land use in areas within.
The guidelines also cover urban areas, just as prohibition in the 100-meter belt under the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71. For urban areas, the need for densification and urban development be emphasized, as stated in the last paragraph in section. 5.2, 6.2 and 7.2 below.

3. Public authorities tasks and responsibilities

Municipalities should add guidelines applied in municipal planning, plan the treatment and processing of applications for exemptions.
Counties should put policies applied in the regional planning. The county governors and county authorities should put policies based its participation in the municipal planning process and exemption treatment. They shall, if necessary, an objection to a proposed plan and appeal exemption decisions that are not in compliance.
Other government agencies involved should put policies applied in their operations, and they can make objections and appeals against decisions that are not in compliance.
Referring to official assignment for the counties, which states: Basically, there are municipalities that from an overall assessment determines how land is to be used. Municipalities will promote municipal, regional and national goals and interests in their planning. State and regional authorities may make objections if planning proposals are contrary to national and major regional interests. State and regional authorities should emphasize local self-government in assessing whether it should be submitted objection.


4. Geographical differentiation

4.1 division into three main

The guidelines divided the country into three main areas

-
Coastal Municipalities Oslo area, section. 5 below

-
Other areas where pressure on land is huge section. 6 below

-
Areas with less pressure on land, section. 7 below.

The guidelines divided the country into the municipal boundaries as a starting point. Oslofjord region is spun off as a separate category with a particularly high development pressure, where the former national guidelines will be continued with some modifications.
Breakdown into categories is done after a judgment, where it is taken into account SSB overview of building affected coastline and Ot.prp.nr.32 (2007-2008) about the new planning of the Planning and Building Act.
In Ot.prp.nr.32 stated that the Oslo Fjord area, south coast and central parts of the coastal zone in Rogaland, Hordaland and Trondheim Fjord are areas of development pressure. Oslofjord region stands in a unique position.
Division of municipalities outside the Oslo Fjord area is undertaken on the basis of which municipalities are located close to major cities, and SSB overview of building affected coastline. Proximity to cities could lead to that there is a build pressure on the coastal zone. For cities and other key areas will be particularly pressure to build residential and commercial buildings. For areas located slightly further away urban areas there will be a pressure to build homes, tourism facilities, etc. The pressure will vary depending on how desirable areas, both for construction and for recreation. Distance and communications, as well as price levels of properties are also important. Relatively similar areas may have very different development pressure for second homes, and it is difficult to set up objective criteria for how it can be expected such pressure in the future.
In the discretionary assessment of land pressures are taken into account the number of exemptions for new buildings, which is reported in the municipal-government reporting KOSTRA. Moreover, the emphasis on criteria such as population stall / inflow, number of cabins, the proportion of shoreline that is Paring and the proportion that is actually available. Emphasis is placed on capturing municipalities with development pressure along the shoreline today and municipalities from distance, communications and location have an increasing pressure. It is by definition placed on experiences and evaluations of regional authorities and county governors.
Oslofjord region is exposed to the strongest pressure on land, and is in a unique position because of previously adopted policy guidelines. Despite this show SSB overview of building affected coastline that Oslo area is the area with clear most Paring shoreline. Agder coast and some key areas in Rogaland, Hordaland and the Trondheim Fjord are also prone to a build pressure. In Oslo area has more municipalities developed a very large percentage of the coastal zone, and it is necessary to ensure a better development in other areas where the pressure may increase.

4.2 Differentiation through planning

It is not possible to make geographic guidelines that fully takes into account local differences within each municipality. Therefore, policies have different emphasis in different parts of the municipality in dealing with municipal plans. It will therefore be opened in order to make further differentiation in the municipal development plan and possibly the regional plan of areas within the municipality that highlight such local variations. It will be easier to get permission to build in areas of the municipality with little pressure and harder in areas where the pressure is high. The issue of construction should also be considered in relation to public interests, such as natural and cultural environment, recreation and landscape.
Building ban in 100-meter belt along the sea applies to the entire country. The intention of the Planning and Building Act is that local authorities should clarify the future land use in the coastal zone through its planning, primarily municipal.
Municipalities shall municipal assess the need for the development of existing land use and the need for adaptation of any new development. Municipalities should consider whether previously adopted undeveloped areas for development in the coastal zone should be maintained or removed by municipal. In this assessment, the legal stringent requirements and these guidelines are applied. Through regional plans can be made comprehensive evaluations of 100-meter belt along the sea beyond the individual municipality. Such assessments should be based on the guidelines here, and will involve an object lesson on a more detailed level.

Conditions along the coast are very different, and local development plans and the regional plans will reflect this. Development Pressures in 100-meter belt along the sea is clearly greater in parts of the country, particularly in relation to the larger urban areas and densely populated areas in general. Along much of the coast there are large, sometimes not easily accessible areas, where ancient settlement and industry are concentrated on the few available sites. Although in such municipalities may be small building activity, there may be locally large area pressure.
Areas designated as densely populated areas constitutes a long coastline, which also may be differences between municipalities. All these municipalities have still a huge development pressure in parts of the coastal zone today, or will be able to get it. In municipalities specified unless development pressure may correspondingly be differences. Local there will also be great pressure on the 100-meter belt along the lake that must be solved through local and regional planning. Also for these municipalities to development and activity as a starting point be clarified in the municipal plan.
Through planning under the Planning and Building Act, the beach area considered comprehensive and long-term. Land use must be assessed in relation to the interests that prevail in different parts of the coastal zone. The shore is assessed in the municipal plan, and possibly regional plans where appropriate.
In the municipal development plan, the municipality may make further provisions under the Act § 11-11, no. 4 to erect the necessary buildings and smaller plants and circulation of agricultural, husbandry, fishing and aquaculture, equipment for traffic at sea. Such measures are not generally exempt from the ban, but the municipality should evaluate the need for municipal. Provisions may be generally allows such buildings and smaller plants in the 100-meter belt. It is assumed that such provisions under the Act § 11-11, no. 4 shall not preclude that there may be carried out reconstruction of existing outbuildings and erection of replacement buildings in a farmyard in the coastal zone, or that they re-erected after a fire or accident. This also applies to systems for fishing, aquaculture and traffic at sea.
Exemptions for re-entry of the replacement building by fire or natural perils, and exemption for reconstruction of existing buildings to ensure that the construction works functionality safeguarded, should normally be given unless the municipality after an assessment finds that this would be contrary to public policy.

5. Coastal Municipalities Oslo area

5.1 The areas defined thus:

Coast in Oslo, Oslo, Akershus, Buskerud, Vestfold and Telemark are key areas with particularly high pressure on land. This applies to the following municipalities:

-
Østfold, Oslo, Akershus, Buskerud, Vestfold and Telemark:

All coastal municipalities.

5.2 For these areas the following guidelines apply:

Building ban in 100-meter belt along the waterfront in § 1-8 of the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71 generally apply. In the new law is the prohibition and provisions on exemptions in Chapter 19 tightened. 100-meter belt is of national interest. This prohibition shall therefore be strictly applied and exemptions should be avoided.
For any new development and new measures will be required zoning, cf. Planning and Building Act § 12-1. Building limit to be specified in the plans, ref. Planning and Building Act § 1-8 third paragraph.
In 100-meter belt along the sea, the following guidelines apply:

-
Construction and landscape interventions should not be permitted in areas that are significant for other purposes, such as outdoor activities, nature conservation, biodiversity, cultural heritage, cultural, landscape, agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture or other social significance. When preparing development plans which involve the construction of 100-meter belt of land which is partially developed, the traffic considerations and landscape adaptation especially emphasized.

-
New buildings should be drawn as far away from the sea as possible, and expansion of existing buildings shall be in the direction away from the sea. The building's function will affect the location. The development of roads, other infrastructure and land workup to happen so that the engagement and disadvantages are minimized. Overall, emphasis must be placed on solutions that can improve the existing situation in relation to landscape and public access to the sea.

-
Alternative placement opportunities should always be considered before construction is allowed. This is also true for smaller measure. Further privatization and clogging of beach areas should be avoided.

-

In the municipal planning process municipalities must consider whether measures previously approved in municipal or zoning, is in accordance with these guidelines. Older plans that allow for development in violation, be revised or repealed. Consideration and possible repeal or revision of older plans will be included in the annual the council's development plan.

-
It should be a very restrictive approach to new homes and major extension of existing homes. Municipalities should in municipal after an assessment introduce regulations for size and standard of existing homes in the coastal zone.

-
Any infill in existing areas should be approved in the updated municipal and zoning, and shall not be in violation of these guidelines.

Policy also applies to urban areas. In these areas, the need for densification and urban development emphasized. Development should be concentrated to established development areas. Land for housing, sentrums- and economic development should be prioritized over land for holiday homes.

5.3 Policy guidelines for planning in coastal and marine areas in the Oslo fjord region

In addition to the guidelines before continuing here the former national guidelines on 9 July 1993 no. 726 for planning in coastal and marine areas in the Oslo fjord region with some changes.

5.3.1 Geographic Scope

Guidelines apply in RPR zone that the country is bounded on the map, dated June 1993. The guidelines also apply to all islands, islets, reefs and the like. In sea applies guidelines for total local government areas, including water surface, water volume and seabed out to the baseline.
RPR-zone countries does not include urban areas in Skien, Porsgrunn, Larvik, Sandefjord, Tonsberg, Horten, Drammen, Oslo, Moss, Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg and Halden and the urban developed areas in Asker and Bærum.

5.3.2 Background

Oslofjord region forms the country's commercial and population center of gravity, while the fjord and the coastal zone is the country's most widely used recreational area and contain high conservation values. It is of national importance that the region can develop its function as the country's commercial center of gravity within the framework of sustainable development.
It is an overriding goal to establish a sustainable development through the practice of sectoral policies at all levels of society. It is also a key policy objective to increase opportunities for outdoor recreation in dagsutfarts- and vacation areas. Beach and coastline areas are prioritized for such purposes. Undeveloped beach areas that are favorable for swimming and outdoor special priority. Especially in the Oslofjord is such areas such a scarce resource that reallocation of such land for competitive purposes usually should not happen.
Coastal zone in Norway has since the middle of 1950 had special protection against development, through legislation beach areas. There has been a general byggeforbud in 100-meter belt along the waterfront since 1965. It has nevertheless been a widespread downsizing and therefore a deterioration of conservation values ​​and opportunities for public recreation.
The aim of the guidelines is to clarify the political goals that must be included in the balance between development and conservation and recreation values ​​of the Planning and Building Act.

5.3.3 National Goals

5.3.3.1 Primary objective

Within Guidelines geographical scope should natural assets, cultural heritage and recreational values ​​are managed as a resource of national importance, for the benefit of the population today and in the future.

5.3.3.2 Secondary objectives

-
Natural Basis

The natural resources should be managed in the long term, in the interest of natural diversity, productivity and capacity for renewal. Characteristic main features of nature and the landscape must be made to retain and valuable sites, resources and species must be cared for within their ecology in their environments.
Including the aim is to ensure water quality, based on local conditions, provides a basis for natural flora and fauna and allows swimming, other outdoor activities and consumption of seafood without risk to health.

-
Cultural heritage

It must be emphasized to preserve distinctive cultural landscape, cultural heritage, cultural environments and individual examples of the distinctive coastal culture of the area.

-
Recreation

Basis for general recreation shall be secured and further developed. The opportunities for outdoor activities and experience of the natural and cultural environment in the coastal zone must be maintained and improved.

-
Land Use Pattern

Development in RPR zone should as far as possible concentrated to existing urban areas, so that the coastal zone otherwise shielded.


5.3.4 Guidelines for allocation of land and natural resources divided into four categories

5.3.4.1 Definitions

With building sites understood areas of existing and planned buildings for residential purposes, commercial purposes, etc.
With open spaces (agriculture, nature and recreation areas) means all land outside of building areas and shoreline.
With shoreline understood the land and sea areas that are mutually directly interacting ecological and / or utilitarian.
With seas understood all sea outside the shoreline out to the baseline.
Breakdown into categories is assumed done in municipal.

5.3.4.2 Building land

Construction of new homes, commercial buildings and associated buildings and facilities should be conducted in relation to existing towns.
In building areas should be emphasized to ensure open spaces and natural elements such as continuous green community structures. Connection to external recreational areas, beach and sea must be made to retain and further developed. Close beach areas should be kept intact and free of buildings.
It should be made clear boundaries between construction sites and areas that will be developed, with emphasis on appropriate rounding of agricultural land.

5.3.4.3 Open Areas (agriculture, nature and recreation areas)

In these areas, the emphasis is on long-term management of natural resources and cultural landscapes, as the basis for agriculture, conservation and public recreation.
Spread development in these areas should be avoided. Fritidshus can be listed by approved, not pre-developed plans, or as limited infill in existing areas, considered in plan.

5.3.4.4 Strandsone

The opportunities for public outdoor recreation, based on båtferdsel, traffic on foot and on bike and beach stay should be secured and improved. Emphasis should be placed on maintaining and improving accessibility to the shoreline from landside and seaside as well as opportunities to walk along the waterfront. By tradeoffs should these considerations be strongly emphasized in relation to the further development of existing residential and recreational properties.
In zones with high biological production, shallow water areas, border zones and the like, other valuable habitats and other localities with particularly natural or landscape value, the consideration for the natural environment is emphasized strongly in relation to outdoor and båtferdsel. The same applies to valuable cultural heritage in relation to outdoor and båtferdsel.
Key fishing, casting and storage of fish seats should be maintained, and be free of fixed installations, as buoys, moorings, private docks and the like, which can be a disadvantage for fishing operations.
In the coastal zone should construction that can reduce natural and cultural environment and opportunities for recreation and fishing does not take place.
Collective accommodation, facilities to service for yachts and other facilities for business and leisure activities related to beach and sea, should be carefully considered and adapted to local conditions. Construction of new and significant expansion of existing holiday homes will generally not be permitted.

5.3.4.5 Sjøområdet

These areas will be emphasized as habitats and the basis for fishing and other forms of renewable natural resources, and as a resource for transportation, travel by pleasure craft and other recreation. It should appear great caution in opening measures at sea involving significant construction and / or permanent procedure that can be a disadvantage to the considerations underlying policies.

6. Other areas where pressure on land is large

6.1 The areas defined thus:

Coast Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder and parts of the coast of Rogaland, Hordaland, Møre og Romsdal, Sør-Trøndelag and Nord-Trøndelag, considered areas where pressure on land is high. The pressure is not necessarily large in the entire municipality, but is related to some attractive areas along the coast. This applies to the following municipalities:

-

Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder: All coastal municipalities

-

Rogaland: Eigersund, Finnøy, Haugesund, Hå, Karmøy, Klepp, Randaberg, Rennesøy, Sandnes, Sokndal, Sola, Stavanger, Strand, Tysvær

-

Hordaland Askoy, Bergen, Mountains, Lindås, Meland, Os, Sund, Øygarden

-

More og Romsdal: Kristiansund, Molde, Alesund

-

Sor-Trondelag: Ashford, Freya, Hitra, Malvik, Melhus, Orkdal, Rissa, Skaun, Trondheim, Orland

-

Nord-Trondelag: Frosta, Inderøy, Levanger, Steinkjer Stjørdal, Verdal.

6.2 For these areas the following guidelines apply:


Building ban in 100-meter belt along the waterfront in § 1-8 of the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71 generally apply. In the new law is the prohibition and provisions on exemptions in Chapter 19 tightened. 100-meter belt is of national interest. As a rule, the building ban strictly applied and exemptions avoided in key areas where pressure on land is high. In such areas, it is important that municipalities work on comprehensive development strategies in municipal evaluates intentions behind the building ban in the coastal zone that may conflict with the interests of developers. It should in this assessment could be taken of whether the objective of access to the shoreline to the public can be protected in that instance allocated land for coastal trail, recreation area or the like.
For significant new development of residential or recreational buildings, should be required zoning, cf. Planning and Building Act § 12-1. The requirement that there shall be zoning before permission can be given to the implementation of major construction works are continued from the Planning and Building Act of 1985. building limit to be specified in the plans, ref. Planning and Building Act § 1-8 third paragraph. Within the areas of the municipality that are not the subject of extensive pressure on land, the control of development achieved through provisions to the municipal development plan.
In 100-meter belt along the sea, the following guidelines apply:

-
Construction and landscape interventions should be avoided in areas that are significant for other purposes, such as outdoor activities, nature conservation, biodiversity, cultural heritage, cultural, landscape, agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture or other social significance. When preparing development plans which involve the construction in the coastal zone in areas that are partially developed, the traffic considerations and landscape adaptation especially emphasized.

-
New buildings should be pulled so far away from the sea as possible. Expansion of existing buildings should if possible be made in the direction away from the sea. The building's function will affect the location. The development of roads and other infrastructure will be so engaged and disadvantages are minimized. Out Work-up should be done so that intervention and disadvantages compared to availability in the coastal zone are minimized. Overall, emphasis must be placed on solutions that can improve the existing situation in relation to landscape and public access to the sea.

-
Alternative placement options should be considered before construction is allowed.

-
In the municipal planning process municipalities must consider whether measures previously approved in municipal or zoning, is in accordance with these guidelines. Older plans that allow for development in violation, should be revised or repealed. Such work should especially be prioritized in areas with heavy pressure. Consideration and possible repeal or revision of older plans will be included in the annual the council's development plan.

-
It should basically be a restrictive approach to new homes and major extension of existing homes in areas of the municipality with the press. Municipalities should in municipal after an assessment introduce regulations for size and standard of existing homes in the coastal zone.

-
Any infill in existing areas are expected to be approved in the updated municipal and zoning, and shall not be in violation of these guidelines.

-
Possibility of recreational fishing by allowing entry of boathouse and jetty will also be considered in assessing the measures in the 100-meter belt. These considerations must be weighed against the interest of the public interest as indicated above, and the opportunities for public piers and boathouses should also be considered.

Policy also applies to urban areas. In these areas, the need for densification and urban development emphasized. Development should be concentrated to established development areas. Land for housing, sentrums- and economic development should be prioritized over land for holiday homes.

7. Areas with less pressure on land

7.1 The areas defined thus:

Parts of the coast of Rogaland, Hordaland, Møre og Romsdal, Sør-Trøndelag and Nord-Trøndelag, and the coast of Sogn og Fjordane, Nordland, Troms and Finnmark considered areas with less pressure on land. This applies to the following municipalities:

-

Rogaland: Bokn, Forsand, Gjesdal, Hjelmeland, Kvitsøy, Sauda, ​​Suldal, Utsira, Vindafjord

-

Hordaland: Austevoll, Austrheim, Bømlo, Eidfjord, Etne, Fedje, Fitjar, Fusa, Granvin, Jondal, Kvam, Kvinnherad Masfjord, Modalen, Odda, Osterøy, Radøy, Samnanger, Stord Sveio, Tysnes, Ullensvang, Ulvik , Vaksdal, Voss

-

Sogn og Fjordane: All coastal municipalities

-


More og Romsdal, Aukra, Aure, Averøy, Eide, Fræna, Giske, Gjemnes, Halsa, Haram, Hareid, Herøy, Midsund, Nesset, Norddal, Rauma, Sande, Sandøy, Skodje, Smøla, Stordal, Stranda, Sula , Surnadal, Sunndal, Sykkylven, Tingvoll, Ulstein, Vanylven, Vestnes, Volda, Ørskog, Ørsta

-

Sor-Trondelag: Agdenes, Hemne, Osen, Roan, Snillfjord, Åfjord

-

Nord-Trondelag: Flatanger, Fosnes, Highlands, Leka, Leksvik, Mosvik, Namdalseid, Namsos Nærøy, Verran, Vikna

-

Nordland, Troms and Finnmark: All coastal municipalities.

Municipalities Austevoll, Bømlo, Fitjar, Stord Sveio Tysnes and placed in this category on a trial basis, as Sunnhordland is pilot region for differentiated shoreline management. In 2014, considered the location of these municipalities again.

7.2 For these areas the following guidelines apply:

Building ban in 100-meter belt along the waterfront in § 1-8 of the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71 generally apply. In the new law is the prohibition and provisions on exemptions in Chapter 19 tightened. 100-meter belt is of national interest, and construction in the mentioned municipalities be permitted only after an assessment based on local conditions.
In areas without pressure it will be easier for local authorities to give permission to build than in areas where the pressure is high. It will give municipalities outside pressure areas opportunity to include 100-meter belt along the sea in their overall development strategies. This means that municipalities can adopt plans that involve development for various purposes also in 100-meter belt.
Municipal master plan shall form the basis for possible drafting of zoning (area zoning or detailed regulation). Building limit to be specified in the plans, ref. Planning and Building Act § 1-8 third paragraph. Older plans that allow for development in violation, should be revised or repealed.
For major building project will require zoning, cf. Planning and Building Act § 12-1. The requirement that there shall be zoning before permission can be given to the implementation of major construction works are continued from the Planning and Building Act of 1985. When developing measures that are not particularly extensive should land utilization is governed by provisions of the municipal. For smaller measures exemptions may be granted after an assessment, on the basis of Chapter 19.
In 100-meter belt along the sea, the following guidelines apply:

-
Development should as far as possible be localized to areas that are undeveloped from before, so that any development most concentrated. Development in pristine areas with specific outdoor interests, nature and landscape qualities or cultural heritage should be avoided. These include development in coastal and fjord landscapes with special qualities.

-
Question of construction will be assessed in relation to the public interest. It should not allow development in areas that have special value in connection with the outdoors and public access, natural qualities, biodiversity, cultural heritage, cultural environments and landscapes. Relationship to other interests, such as agriculture, fishing, farming and husbandry must also be considered. Where permitted construction, should the consideration of other interests will be best possible.

-
Alternative investments should be evaluated and selected if possible. It should also be considered whether the measure can be pulled away from the sea. Measures that are allowed must suit the environment as possible.

-
In areas where all available development land located within the 100-meter belt and alternate measures thus not possible, the municipality will have wider access to allow measures to safeguard the interests of a sensible society. In assessing whether the measures should be allowed should be emphasized about the accessibility to the public can be protected in that instance allocated land for coastal trail, recreation area or the like.

-
Need for economic development and jobs, for example, focus on travel and tourism, should be given weight in the assessment of measures in the 100-meter belt. These considerations must be weighed against the interest of the public policy set out above.

-
Assessment will depend on what type of measures concerned. There may be grounds to allow certain measures near the sea, such as piers, boathouses, commercial measures and sea-based tourism facilities.

-
Possibility of recreational fishing by allowing entry of boathouse and jetty will also be considered in assessing the measures in the 100-meter belt. These considerations must be weighed against the interest of the public interest as indicated above, and the opportunities for public piers and boathouses should also be considered.


Policy also applies to urban areas. In these areas, the need for densification and urban development emphasized. Land for housing, sentrums- and economic development should be first priority over land for holiday homes.

8. Regional plans

Guidelines stated in the previously adopted county plans and county sub-plans shall continue to apply, as far as they are not in conflict with what is mentioned in the guidelines above.
Region Plans and county sub-plans that are in violation, should be revised so that they are in compliance. New plans are treated according to the provisions on regional planning in Chapter 8 of the Planning and Building Act of 27 June 2008 no. 71

9. evaluation

The knowledge base in the coastal zone is variable and constantly increasing. Updated knowledge may affect shoreline policy and classification of municipalities. The aim therefore to evaluate and assess the need for revision of the guidelines after they have worked for some time.

10. Commencement

The guidelines come into force immediately.
