Consultation
My property
With a neighborhood plan, many homeowners will get valuable permits to expand their homes or make changes. It may also be permitted to create an accessory apartment and engage in light activity within residential dwellings. The final proposals for the neighborhood plan will reveal what conditions and permits will apply to each area.
Expansion and development of preschools and primary schools
The neighborhood plan's provisions grant construction permissions to expand and develop playgrounds and primary schools in the neighborhood.
In collaboration with the Department of Education & Youth, an assessment is conducted on the housing needs of all preschools and primary schools in the neighborhood. Projections of population and development plans for each neighborhood are considered, and generous building permits on school grounds are provided for expansions and temporary housing as needed in each location.
The hot water main conduit
The draft proposals for the Háaleiti-Bústaðir urban district plan propose to restore the old hot water main conduit as the backbone of Bústaðahverfi and a landmark that strengthens both the neighborhood spirit and improves neighborhood awareness.
The urban district plan looks towards connecting the hot water main conduit with various large and small rest and leisure areas, with interesting facilities for both the young and the elderly.
