Build a house in Upplands-Bro Municipality

Upplands-Bro has two larger towns, Bro and Kungsängen, as well as countryside and Lake Mälaren shores. Its ÖP 2010 strategic plan is supplemented by more detailed plans for Bro and rural areas; work for Kungsängen is separate. These long-term plans guide decisions but do not automatically grant a permit. For a plot, check the plan in force, road access, water and wastewater before drawing conclusions from nearby homes.Strategic plan ÖP 2010

Upplands-Bro directs residents to its municipal map for all detailed plans in force. Turn on the detailed-plan layer, find the property and read its plan map and rules. A list of recent or draft projects is not a reliable basis for the plot you are considering. In the countryside, an early site decision may test whether a home is suitable before you commission full drawings.Documents and drawings

For a new one- or two-home house in Upplands-Bro, apply for a permit and use a type A new-build map as the municipality requires. Mark the home on the map and submit drawings showing layout, elevations and height. Check the detailed plan and ask the permit team about uncertain positions or documents. An approved permit is followed by a start notice before building begins.Build a one- or two-home house

Upplands-Bro municipality operates the public water and wastewater network. Before planning service pipes, notify it of a new connection; the municipality checks whether the property has a connection point or needs a new one. Availability can differ between the towns, lakeshore and countryside. Beyond the public network, investigate a private water and wastewater solution and the municipality's approval process.Water and wastewater

Upplands-Bro offers four types of new-build map. Its permit guide requires type A for a new one- or two-home house, showing information such as boundaries, levels and existing buildings. Order it through the municipal mapping service and use it as the base for the site plan. A simpler map may suit another kind of work but does not automatically replace type A for a new home.Maps, surveys and properties

Upplands-Broleden passes through the Lejondal, Stäketskogen, Frölunda and Broängarna nature reserves. Along with Lake Mälaren, these provide varied outdoor places within the municipality. But journeys to services and nature differ from a plot in Bro, Kungsängen or the countryside. Check everyday travel from the address and whether protected land or shoreline rules affect the plot.Nature in Upplands-Bro
