    • 1109257 – Erluás 39, property advertisement

      On mbl.is there is an advertisement for Erlaás, where the house is registered with the Land Registry at 266.7 m² and the garage at 46.6 m². In addition, there is an unregistered area of about 150 m² according to the owner, and it is said that the house is divided into three flats.

      The Planning and Building Officer points out that only one dwelling is registered in the house, and this is in accordance with the neighbourhood's detailed plan. An unregistered space is only approved as an unfinished space, not for use, as this would not comply with the neighbourhood's detailed plan regulations on the utilisation ratio.

      The letter from Snorri Hafsteinsson, on behalf of Rafhitunar ehf., dated 04.05.11, is reconsidered, in which a comment regarding poor upkeep of the site is addressed. The matter concerns poor management of the plot bounded by Kaplahrauni 7abcd, which is a shared access road where all property owners are supposed to have access to their own properties. On 20/05/11, the Planning and Building Officer proposed that the plot be subdivided and requested a proposal for this. If this is not received within two months, the Planning and Building Officer will propose the subdivision. The request has not been addressed.

      As the request has not been addressed, the Planning and Building Officer will propose a division of the plot by legal means.
