The proposed Savilahdentie waterfront development plan was on display until May 26, 2026. No statements or objections were received regarding the proposal.

The author of the plan has submitted a notification of the initiation of the plan to the municipality of Kihniö on 18 December 2023. The municipal board decided on 19 September 2043, Section 149, that the plan project will be initiated and the preparation of the plan can be started. The Savilahdentie waterfront plan proposal has been put on display by decision of the municipal board. No feedback was received on the plan proposal during the period of display, so it is submitted for approval.

The plan area borders Lake Nerkoonjärvi. The coastal plan consists of one part. The area subject to the planning project covers an area of ​​1,4879 hectares. The total length of the shoreline in the plan is approximately 300 m.

There is one built holiday home property in the area to be zoned. There are currently no buildings on the other two properties. The proposed plan includes two planning plots. Both will be used for holiday homes. The southern and northern parts of the planning area will remain agricultural and forestry areas according to the plan.

A nature and archaeological survey has been conducted for the area in accordance with the official statements received from the draft plan.

Vaikutusarvioinnin mukaan ranta-asemakaavalla ei ole merkittävää vaikutusta rakennettuun ympäristöön, maisemaan ja luonnonarvojen vaalimiseen. Arvokkaaksi luontokohteeksi tunnistettu, alueen etelä päässä sijaitseva rantaluhta, joka säilytetään osoittamalla alue maa- ja metsätalousalueeksi, jolloin alueelle ei kohdistu rantarakentamista. .

Nerkoonjärven ranta-asemakaavojen muutoksen ja laajennuksen ehdotus oli nähtävillä 25.5.2026 saakka. Kaavaehdotuksesta saatiin Lupa- ja valvontaviraston sekä Pirkanmaan maakuntamuseon lausunnot. Lausunnoissa esitetyt muokkaukset kaavaan ja sen liiteaineistoon on tehty kaavaan ja niissä mainittuihin liitteisiin. Kaavaehdotukseen tehdyt muokkaukset ovat luonteeltaan kaavaa tarkentavia, joten ne eivät aiheuta tarvetta laittaa kaavaa uudelleen nähtäväksi, Liite 1 täydennetään myöhemmin.

Nerkoonjärvi waterfront plan The commencement of proceedings has been announced on December 10, 2024.

The areas of the coastal master plan are located on different sides of Lake Nerkoonjärvi in ​​Kihniö. There are existing road connections to the areas.

The aim of the coastal zone plan being prepared is to update the land use of the area's holiday construction sites to meet current needs and current use. The construction sites in the plan area will be assigned permitted building rights in accordance with the municipal building regulations. Some of the planning areas have coastal zone plans that came into force at different times. Some of the planning areas are areas without coastal zone planning.

The plan designates a total of 10 construction sites, eight of which are designated as holiday home construction sites and two as detached single-family homes. Of the eight designated leisure construction sites, seven are already built. One zoned but unbuilt leisure construction site will be moved south from the east bank in the same property area.

The planning areas are mainly forested courtyards of built holiday homes. There are no known natural or landscape values ​​in the planning area. A nature study has been prepared for the area during the spring and summer of 2024.

An archaeological inventory has been prepared for the area in connection with the planning work. The inventory discovered a fence-like stone mound on top of a rock outcrop on the southeastern edge of Kivelänniemi. The mound is likely related to a field/meadow area located in the area on the 1804 division map and the 1960 basic map. The stone mound is proposed as another cultural heritage site.

The building sites in the plan area are mainly already built, and the plan mainly only allocates a small amount of additional building rights to already completed building sites. New buildings or extensions may be visible in the landscape to some extent when completed, but the general provisions of the plan have sought to guide construction in such a way that the buildings adapt to the landscape in terms of colour, facade materials and proportions, and that sufficient trees are preserved on the construction site. The plan is therefore not expected to have a significant impact on the landscape structure or natural conditions of the area.

Due to the amendment to the Building Act, all municipalities must update their building regulations to reflect the changed legislation. The building regulations in accordance with the law must be in force by 1 January 2027 at the latest (Section 28 of the Building Act).

The new building regulations replace the Kihniö Municipality Building Regulations, which came into effect on 1 July 2014.

The Technical Committee has approved the participation and evaluation plan for the building regulations on November 13, 2024.

A draft of the building regulations has been prepared, as attached. The draft contains various changes based on both changed legislation and the needs for change identified by the municipality. The most important change concerns waterfront construction, for which a new determination of the construction site based on the watershed-specific waterfront construction situation and a report by a nature and landscape expert is proposed. In this context, the current baseline review for waterfront construction is also being abandoned. In addition, it is proposed that the shoreline length requirement be reduced from 50 meters to 40 meters.

Construction site and its location:

The construction site is a property called Kultaranta, measuring approximately 4670 m2. The property ID is 250-401-3-142. The construction site borders Kankarinjärvi by approximately 65 meters.

Proposed measure and justification for the application:

A derogation is being applied for to convert an 82 m2 recreational building into a permanent residential building.  

Prohibitions, restrictions and the planned situation

The Hurtinlahti-Kuttiniemi waterfront development plan is in force in the area.

The floor area of ​​the separate sauna building may not exceed 25 m2.

The undeveloped part of the construction site must be managed in a natural way. Existing trees and other vegetation, especially in the area between the buildings and the shoreline, should be preserved.

Construction status:

There is an existing leisure building on the construction site with a floor area of ​​82 m2. In addition, there is a separate sauna building of approximately 27 m2 and a carport of 46 m2.

Consulting neighbors:

Neighborhood consultation has been completed. No comments.

Building restriction from which an exemption is sought:

The area is a zoned coastal zone plan area. The construction restriction for which an exception is sought in the application is a deviation from coastal zone plan regulation RA-1, According to the provisions of the coastal area plan RA-1, a two-family house may be built on the plot. single-storey holiday home and a separate sauna building, the total floor area of ​​which may not exceed 145 m2, as well as a utility building and a separate toilet.

However, the above provisions do not apply to eligibility requirements, plot division, the need for and conditions for a landscape work permit, or the conditions for the preparation of a local plan provided for in section 46, subsection 1, paragraph 2, for placement in a planning area. A permit to deviate from other conditions for placement in a planning area may be granted.

However, the permit referred to in subsection 1 above may not be granted if it:

1) causes harm to zoning, the implementation of the plan or other organisation of the use of areas;

2) makes it difficult to achieve nature conservation objectives;

3) makes it difficult to achieve the objectives of protecting the built environment;

4) leads to construction with significant impacts or otherwise causes significant adverse environmental or other impacts.

Reasons for the decision

The building in question meets the requirements of a permanent residential building. The property is accessible by a road that is passable all year round. The building is located approximately 5,8 kilometers from the central settlement of Kihniö, so it relies on the services of the settlement. The neighbors have no objections to the project. The building is equipped with pressurized water and the wastewater drainage has been implemented in accordance with the provisions of the current Wastewater Decree.

Kihniö's municipal strategy also aims to promote construction in coastal areas and the conversion of suitable sites into permanent residential buildings.
