Legislator summary

AI generated

The County Administrative Court dismissed the applicant's request to build a holiday home on a small island lot. The building committee had rejected the permit because the lot size violated planning regulations applicable to the residential area, as the building act's minimum area rules did not apply there. The court held that granting the permit would not constitute a minor deviation from planning rules, thus stripping the committee of its authority under the relevant section of the building act.

Legislator headnote

Building Act s. 121; Building Act s. 132(2): When planning regulations apply to a site instead of the building act's minimum area rules, a building permit cannot be granted if the site is too small, as this falls outside the committee's authority unless it represents a minor deviation.

Ä:n kaupungin rakennuslautakunta hylkäsi P:n hakemuksen saada rakentaa noin 300 m

:n suuruiseen saareen kerrosalaltaan 24,5 m

suuruisen loma-asunnon. Kun rakennuslain 121 §:n rakennuspaikan vähimmäiskokoa koskevia säännöksiä ei voitu soveltaa kaupungin haja-asutusalueella, sovellettiin asiaan vastaavia rakennusjärjestyksen määräyksiä, joiden mukaan rakennuspaikka oli liian pieni. Kun luvan myöntämistä ei voitu pitää vähäisenä poikkeamisena rakennusjärjestyksen määräyksistä, ei rakennusluvan myöntäminen kuulunut rakennuslain 132 2 §:n momentinkaan perusteella rakennuslautakunnan toimivaltaan.
