Planloven

Law on planning (Lov om planlægning) popularly known as Planloven, is a Danish law which establishes the basic rules that public authorities shall follow when planning, including:


 * the protection of the country's nature and environment through prevention of pollution
 * to create and maintain valuable buildings
 * to involve the public in planning

Plan Types
Planloven contains four different plan types:


 * National directives
 * Regional plans
 * Municipality plans
 * Local plans

The various plans are ranked so that a plan of a given type may not conflict with plans on a higher level. It is only the local plan that is binding for the individual landowners.
