Planning Law
The Planning Act regulates land use in Denmark with rules on planning, including municipal and local planning, as well as regulation of construction, etc. in rural zones and holiday home areas.
The law is constantly being amended by new initiatives relating to, for example, climate adaptation, protection against flooding, noise and odours, new opportunities for planning for renewable energy plants, energy parks, etc. In addition, the area is characterised by very extensive case law from the Planning Board of Appeal, which it is necessary to keep up to date with in order to be able to manoeuvre within the area.
