An overhaul of the Land Use and Building Act is being drafted. The objective is to formulate a clear idea of the principles applicable to this reform during the current government term. Digital zoning plays a key role in this reform. One of the visions for the reform is that in 2025, an up-to-date planning view can be accessed online that shows the current status of all valid zoning decisions. To find detailed information on a plan, all you need to do is click on it.

Should you wish, you could also access information on local environmental protection sites, ground water areas and maps of areas exposed to noise in the same view. The system would offer all up-to-date information on the status of the environment as well as valid environmental plans and decisions. A full-service plan would serve users by offering all available information at a single location and alerting the users straight away if their plan is incompatible with valid zoning decisions.
