Earthwork altering the landscape, tree-felling or other similar measures may not be carried out without a permit (action restriction):
A landscape-work permit is applied for by applying for a Building and an action permit.
The application must clearly state that it is an application for a landscape-work permit.
No permit is required for work with only minor impacts.
If the entrepreneur has established itself in another country in the European Economic Area and temporarily offers services in Finland, the same permits are required as from entrepreneurs established in Finland.
The landscape-work permit will expire if the measure has not been taken within three years of the decision becoming legally valid.
The owner or holder of a land area must apply for a landscape work permit in order to carry out earth works, tree-felling or similar action altering the landscape in areas covered by a local detailed plan. A landscape work permit is also required in areas covered by a local master plan, if the plan so requires.
The decision on the application is taken by the authority designated for the task by the municipality. No landscape work permit is required to fell individual trees for the purpose of caring for plots. Neither is a landscape work permit required for actions that are related to an issued building permit.
