The zoning plan defines in detail the intended use for a certain area, the location and size of the buildings, the location of other functions and urban landscape aspects. Zoning plans are prepared by the City of Tampere. The scope of a zoning plan may vary from a single plot to several blocks or sections of a residential area.
The creation of a zoning plan progresses step-by-step. Based on the plan proposal or application, the city then considers the appropriateness of a zoning plan. After the start and initiation of the planing project comes the preparation phase, the drafting of the plan proposal, then the approval of the plan by the decision-making body.
Further information on zoning plans and zoning plan procedures can be obtained from the Tampere service point.
