During the designated period for the presentation of working-proposals a significant number of comments and observations were received and a number of items in the proposals have been amended in conformity with such comments but other issues remain with little or no change. Some individual proposals presented in the neighbourhood plan authorising an increase the number of flats within the present settled areas aroused significant discussions and both positive and negative responses.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for a possible increase of flats are for the most part unchanged in the current proposals, as these are to a great extent provisions for owners of single-family houses and apartment buildings to increase the number of flats on their premises.<br \/>It is unclear to what extent these rights will be used as they are completely subject to the decisions of the owners of each property. The proposals however are well in line with the approved <span>Reykjav\u00edk municipality plan<\/span> which states that the build-up of the city in the next years will for the most part take place within the present demarcation line for the populated areas and will be in line with the goals of the neighbourhood\u00a0 plan about more sustainable and eco-friendly areas.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;margin-top:-420px;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_css_main_element_phone=&#8221;margin-top:0px;&#8221; custom_css_main_element_tablet=&#8221;margin-top:0px;&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/breidholt.dev.kaliber.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/fjolgun-ibuda-1.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;fjolgun-ibuda 1&#8243; align=&#8221;right&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; custom_css_main_element=&#8221;display: flex;||justify-content: center;&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_css_main_element_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221;]<div class=\"arrow-list\">\n  <div class=\"share-label\">\n\t<p>A good opportunity to share and discuss on your Facebook city area website<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"share-text\">\n  <ul>\n    <li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/breidholt.dev.kaliber.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/210867\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https:\/\/breidholt.dev.kaliber.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/210867\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a><\/li>\n    <li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Fors??a&amp;body=https:\/\/breidholt.dev.kaliber.is\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/210867\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Email<\/a><\/li>\n  <\/ul>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#b8c336&#8243; header_2_line_height=&#8221;55px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Landowners get permission to increase the number of flats on their housing lots but it\u00b4s unclear to what extent these permissions will be used as they are subject to the decisions of the owners of each property<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;green-listing-points&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; ul_text_color=&#8221;#b8c336&#8243; ul_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listing-points\">\n<li><a href=\"#ibudafjolgun\">\u00a0Increase in number of flats within settled areas<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#hvad\"> What am I allowed to do with my property?

Access to these flats is therefore limited and they are ill-suited for people with reduced mobility or the elderly. For these reasons, many are forced to move out of their flats as they get older or when their situation changes, with the accompanying costs and inconvenience. Rarely have elevators been set up in such buildings in Iceland, even though that is common practice in neighbouring countries. The costs involved in the construction and operation of an elevator is in most cases a major obstacle.<\/p>\n<p>In the neighbourhood plan, housing associations are permitted to build on additional flat on top of many of these apartment houses in Brei\u00f0holt where there is no elevator, with the condition that an elevator will be installed at the same time.<br \/>New construction rights are valuable and the housing association will be able to allocate them and use the profit to install an elevator at the house and even carry out other maintenance of the building or the premises.<\/p>\n<p>When the working proposals for the neighbourhood plan were introduced and presented in the summer of 2020 many comments and observations were received regarding these ideas, both for and against, but it has been decided to keep these permissions in the neighbourhood plan. Not least because accessibility is important to many groups in society. Improved access to flats on the upper floors can also increase their value and make it possible for many to stay longer in their flats. Last but not least it is a key issue that a permit to build on top of a building is an asset which building lot owners are the sole proprietors of and can only be utilised if there is agreement among them.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to permission for building on top of an existing building, construction plots for extensions have also been defined, and for new buildings on the lots of apartment buildings at Austurberg. The same applies for these as for the right to build on top of an existing building, i.e. that the building right is wholly in the ownership of the proprietors of the lot, and these alone can utilise it if they come to an agreement. These new building permits are intended to improve the street appearance at the urban street Austurberg and at the same time strengthen the area centre and city-sector centre at Hraunberg and Ger\u00f0uberg.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in the area zoning plan, permissions for the construction of waste sheds, bicycle shelters and other small structures, up to 15 m\u00b2 per lot, are defined, and so are provisions regarding lot finishing\u00b4s and boundaries.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;190.1%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||40px|-1px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|396px||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong> Architect contest <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to attempt to standardise the working methods and work procedures it has <br \/>been decided to hold a design contest for construction projects on top of existing <br \/>buildings and for improved access, in collaboration with the Association of Icelandic Architects and the Reykjav\u00edk Social Housing.<\/p>\n<p>Apartment buildings without elevators, managed by the Reykjav\u00edk Social Housing, are i.a.
