Self-build plots through Kävlinge’s queue

Overview

Kävlinge distributes self-build plots through its municipal queue. You may choose a house supplier, but the house still has to meet the detailed plan and permit rules. The municipality describes Harrievallen east of central Kävlinge among its plot areas.

Check the actual plot offered and its rules. A plot near Kävlinge station has different daily journeys from one near the coast or in a smaller community.Plots and housing

Follow Kävlinge’s permit process

Building permits

Kävlinge describes the route from idea and application through the decision, start notice and final approval. Once an application is complete, the municipality may ask affected neighbours and authorities for views. The permit is an assessment of the house on its particular site.

Apply through the municipal online service or form with the right drawings. Do not start building before the start notice.Building permits

Apply to Kävlinge’s water service

Water & wastewater

Kävlinge municipality runs its public water service and requires a service application for a new connection. It warns that investigation and any pipe extension can take time. Outside the public service area, connection is not guaranteed and may need a separate agreement.

Check the plot on the municipality map and contact its VA unit early. A nearby pipe alone does not establish that the house can connect.Water and sewage
