Building and living in Sundbyberg

Overview

Sundbyberg is a compact municipality where central blocks, Duvbo's older small-house area and growing Ursvik have different conditions. The city's strategic plan to 2030 sets the broad direction; the detailed plan governs what can be built on your plot. A separate plan for central Sundbyberg is still a proposal. Check the applicable plan, permit, map and water connection before choosing the house design.Strategic plan and planning strategy

What can be built on the plot?

Planning & detailed development plans

Sundbyberg maps detailed plans in force from 2004 onward. For an older plan, ask the city for its documents using the address or property identifier. Read the plan for your plot and check limits on position, size or design. A nearby project listed among plans in progress does not mean your property's rules have already changed.Detailed plans in force

Planning permission for a new home

Building permits

Sundbyberg requires a permit for a new one- or two-home building. The city's guide stresses showing how the ground around the house will be shaped, especially on sloping plots. In Duvbo, design and materials need particular care for the historic setting. Ask the permit unit about your property before final drawings and wait for a start notice before building.Build a new one- or two-home building

Water and wastewater

Water & wastewater

Sundbyberg Avfall och Vatten, SAVAB, handles connections to the city's public water and wastewater system. Its application calls for a sketch of pipes on the plot and a rainwater solution. The connection point separates the company's responsibilities from the property owner's. Contact SAVAB when preparing the permit so the water layout fits the house position and ground plan.Water and wastewater connection

Maps and site plans

Maps & documents

Sundbyberg distinguishes a new-build map from a simpler base map. A new house usually needs the new-build map for its site plan; an extension may use a simpler base. Order the appropriate map from the city after confirming the project's scope with the permit unit. That lets the drawing use the boundaries and ground information needed for review.New-build and base maps
