Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court of Finland allowed the Water Authority to reroute a navigation channel further from the shore to mitigate interference with a coastal landowner's tourism business. The landowner argued that the existing route disrupted their operations, but the court found no compelling reason to deviate from the authority's original decision since alternative routes offered similar benefits with less harm. Consequently, the court upheld the authority's order to re-route the channel and grant the landowner permission for the necessary excavation.

VEO oli määrännyt venereitin yleiseksi paikallisväyläksi ja

myöntänyt hakijana olevalle kunnalle luvan väylän merkitsemiseksi

tarvittavien viittojen asettamiseen vesistöön.

Rannanomistaja, joka esitti läheltä kulkevan moottoriveneliikenteen

häiritsevän matkailuelinkeinoaan, vaati, että väylän

linjaus muutetaan kauemmas.

Koska asiassa esitetyistä reittivaihtoehdoista kauempaa kulkeva

reitti oli veneliikenteen kannalta samanarvoinen ja vähemmän

haittoja tuottava eikä asiassa ollut esitetty erityistä

syytä, miksi veneliikenne olisi ohjattava VEO:n päättämin tavoin,

VEO määräsi väylän kulkemaan kauempaa reittiä ja myönsi

hakijalle oikeuden uuden linjauksen edellyttämään ruoppaukseen.

Äänestys 2-1. Vähemmistö olisi pysyttänyt vesioikeuden päätöksen.
