Application for land allocation

§ 4 Application for land allocation

4.1 Land applications are submitted to Municipality Qeqertalik either via www.nunagis.gl or via the traditional paper form. Once the applicant has completed the NIN application/paper form, it must be printed and submitted to the municipality signed.

4.2 For processing land applications, a fee is charged, cf. Section 54 of the Danish Planning and Land Use Act No. 17 of 17 November 2010, in accordance with the municipality's current rate sheet.

4.3 An area allocation is personal and can be given to any legal entity, i.e. person, company, corporation, association and the like, regardless of residence or domicile.

4.4 When allocating land to minors, a 'declaration of exemption' from the Royal Commissioner in Greenland must be available.

Available areas are continuously advertised on the municipality's website and appear in NunaGIS.

§ 5 Advertising of vacant areas

5.1 The Municipal Council regularly announces, on the municipality's website, on NunaGIS and possibly other relevant media, areas that become available for construction due to municipal planning and building readiness.

5.2 New vacant building plots and areas for residential and association purposes are advertised as vacant for a minimum of 3 weeks.

5.3 New vacant building plots and areas for commercial, institutional and technical purposes are advertised as vacant for a minimum of 6 weeks.

5.4 If several qualified applicants for the same area are received at the announced deadline, a drawing of lots will be held to determine who will receive the area reservation. The drawing of lots will be open to the public.

5.5 If an applicant waives an area reservation, the waived area will be re-advertised according to the procedures described in paragraphs 5.1-5.4.

5.6 To be a qualified applicant, there must be at least a statement from the lender.

5.7 A person or company may apply for – and be allocated – more areas. This may be the case, for example, if a construction company wishes to build more homes with a view to resale, provided that documentation can be presented of the realism of the project.

5.8 Only one application can be submitted from the same person or company, appearing as one and only one legal entity, for the same building site and/or building area.

§ 6 Requirements for land application

6.1 The application for land allocation must contain the following annexes:

• Site plan showing the location and size of the property applied for.
• Information about the use and location of buildings.
• Sketch proposal that explains the appearance and materials (as requirements in the applicable planning basis must be complied with).
• Information about technical installations.
• Financial information necessary to document that the application can be realized.
• In the case of major construction and civil engineering works, other factors that are of importance for the municipal council's assessment of the application, including the use's compliance with the municipal plan, must be clarified.

The applicant can, for example, illustrate how the project meets the Strategic Priority Areas in the municipality's Planning Strategy – Strategy 2017.

It is the developer who must document that he/she can raise the funds deemed necessary by the municipality, with validation from the lender. The wording of the provision suggests proportionality – namely that the liquidity that the municipality will see evidence of is in proportion to the size of the construction project.
