Bygglov och strandskyddsdispens : Hur kan tillståndsprövningarna samordnas?

Sammanfattning: Building permits and dispensation from shore protection are today two, separate permits, which are legally independent of one other. Despite this, both a building permit and a dispensation from shore protection are normally required for proceedings measures within a shore protection area. This means that a building permit applicant, despite have been granted a building permit, cannot begin the proceedings until dispensation from shore protection has also been granted. The fact that both permits are usually handled by the same authority, i.e. the municipality, can lead to confusion for individual property owners. The municipalities' handling of the permits can also affect the cadastral authority's handling of property registration procedures within shore protection areas.The purpose of this study is to investigate how the permit examinations can be coordinated; partly to clarify the process for the public and partly to simplify the handling of the cadastral authority's handling of property registration procedures. The goal of the study is to present proposals for how the permit examinations can be coordinated.To achieve the purpose and goals of the study, a literature review was carried out as well as a qualitative study consisting of semi-structured interviews with municipalities, cadastral surveyors, and the county administrative board. In addition, a legal dogmatic method was implemented, implying that court decisions, municipal decisions on building permits, and dispensations from shore protection as well as proposals and the state's public investigations were reviewed.The results of the study show that the awareness that a measure may require a dispensation from shore protection is lower among the general public than the understanding that a building permit may be required. The results also show that the municipalities, the county administration, and the cadastral authority sometimes make different assessments in shore protection issues and that the need for a dispensation from shore protection is often only discovered in connection with property registration procedures. Many municipalities do not experience any major problems with how the current legislation is designed, however, the results show that some municipalities have established their own routines to simplify permit examinations. The study also shows that the consequences of a building permit applicant neglecting to apply for a dispensation from shore protection can be great, not least financial. In the worst case, property owners can be prosecuted for environmental crimes or forced to demolish an already constructed building.Overall, there is a need to change the legislation; a building permit according to the Planning and Building Act should be able to be declared suspended while waiting for the issue of a dispensation from shore protection to be decided.ivIn addition, the study shows that there is a need for increased competence development regarding shore protection legislation at both the municipal and the cadastral authorities.
