Some plots outside town bypass the queue

Overview

Lidköping normally allocates municipal house plots through a queue, but says some available plots beyond the main town are exempt. Start with the map of current plots and read the terms for the one you want. Then compare the plan, water services and journeys.

Planning & detailed development plans

Lidköping says nearly all buildings in its towns are covered by detailed plans. In the Lidköping map, turn on the adopted-plan layer and select the exact property to open its documents. Read the limits on home size and position before choosing a design. Planning in progress is different from rules already adopted.Detailed plans

Building permits

Lidköping requires a permit for a new residential home. For a house outside a detailed plan, seek an advance decision so the municipality can assess whether the land suits your project. That decision does not allow construction; a permit and start notice follow. Discuss road access, water and wastewater before ordering a complete house design.What needs a permit or notice?

A water association may be the right contact

Water & wastewater

Lidköping miljö och teknik operates public water and wastewater in the towns. It says that where a water association already exists near your property, ask that association about connection. Find out who actually owns the pipe by your plot and where the connection point is. Outside the networks, investigate a private solution.Water and wastewater connection
