To whom and on what terms
As a rule, a building may not be located in a roadside buffer zone. Equally, no fence or other structure may not be located in the roadside buffer or visibility zone, if such structure causes problems with regard to traffic safety or road maintenance. On application, Economic Development Centre can, however, for a specific reason grant a special building permit if the construction works or the use of a building, construction or equipment do not pose hazards to the traffic safety or cause nuisance to the road maintenance.
Deadline
The adjoining owners must be consulted on the pending construction projects before applying for a junction permit or a deviation decision to build on the roadside buffer zone.
Processing time
Applications are processed in the order of arrival within the limits of available resources. The processing time is on average 4-8 weeks.
