Regulation No. 335 on governmental planning guidelines for differentiated management of shoreline along lakes.

The purpose of this Regulation is to clarify the national land policy in the 100-meter coastal belt. The aim is to safeguard public interests and prevent unfortunate construction along lakes, in accordance to the Planning and Building Act. The Regulation ensures that a stronger geographic differentiation is suggested for the key areas where pressure on land is high. These guidelines apply to the 100-meter belt along the waterfront, with the range set out in the Planning and Building Act (article 1-8).The Regulation’s geographical scope is to preserve natural resources, cultural heritage and recreational values. Guidelines for the utilization of land and natural resources are divided into four categories: areas for existing and planned buildings for residential and industrial purposes (1); agricultural, natural and recreational areas and all land outside the building areas and shorelines (2); shoreline defined as land and sea areas (3); all coastal waters (4). In these areas the emphasis lies on the long-term management of natural and cultural values, as the basis for agriculture and conservation.
