Planning and Building Law

Planning and building law is a comprehensive and complex legal area that is central to the development and construction of property. At Svensson Nøkleby, we have several lawyers with specialized expertise in planning and building law and backgrounds in public administration, giving them unique insight into public processes.

Within planning and building law, there are numerous regulations to adhere to at both national and local levels. Laws, regulations, circulars, guidelines, and decisions mainly constitute the rules and legal framework at the national level, while the local level primarily includes municipal plans, zoning plans, and local regulations. The various rules mean that planning and building law is constantly evolving, and our lawyers spend a lot of time staying updated in the field.
