Build a house in Staffanstorp Municipality

Staffanstorp municipality says available self-build plots are marketed through estate agents when there are any. It has no general housing queue for future projects. A plot actually for sale is therefore different from a planned housing area in places such as Staffanstorp or Hjärup.

For a plot you find, get its property designation and check the planning documents. Find out what the purchase includes and which connections and permits you must arrange yourself.Plots and housing

Staffanstorp’s planning map shows current and proposed detailed plans as well as area regulations. Clicking a coloured area links to the document. The municipality says some villages have area regulations even where no detailed plan applies.

Find the property and read the document currently in force. A proposal is not yet a right to build; ask the planning or permit office for help with older rules.Detailed planning

Staffanstorp’s permit office advises on detailed plans, area regulations, work outside planned areas and cultural settings. You can apply for a permit or preliminary decision through municipal e-services. The drawings needed depend on the house and plot.

Describe your project with its property designation before commissioning final drawings. This lets the municipality point out rules that affect the house’s location and design.Building permits

Staffanstorp asks you to send a service application to its technical unit when a new home needs public water and sewage. The same applies if alterations affect the connection. The public network and services vary by property.

First check whether the plot is in the VA service area and which connections are possible. Apply before finalising pipe routes and the house position.Water and sewage

Staffanstorp offers three new-build map types. Type A includes checked boundaries, planning rules, ground levels and VA information. Type B has fewer details, while type C is an extract from the base map. The municipality gives a one-year validity period if the site and plan stay unchanged.

Ask the permit office which map the house needs and order it from Geoinfo. A simple extract may lack details required for a new home.Maps and surveying

Staffanstorp’s outdoor guide describes the exercise route at Gullåkra mosse near the town, with a lit circuit, nature paths and a bird tower. The municipality also includes Hjärup and smaller villages, where travel to the marsh and other services differs.

When comparing plots, check actual journeys to school, work and shops. A municipal green space is not necessarily within walking distance of every address.Culture and leisure
