Regulation of Land Use Planning : What is to be regulated and in what way?

Planning and building legislation is often subjected to criticism – in Sweden and in other countries – especially in terms of process complexity and time. Legislation has a limited steering capability. It can be exemplified by studies where it was found that the practical application of planning provisions in detailed development plans (Caesar and Lindgren, 2009) and development agreements (Kalbro and Smith, 2008) often are outside the intentions of the legis-lation. We can thus find a gap between legislation and practice also in Sweden (Kalbro et al., 2012). Obviously, such a gap is not good for several reasons. It creates both legal uncertainty and lack of predictability.
