  By email dated 29 May, Emil Morávek requests permission on behalf of Gullslottis ehf to film in Helgafell, in accordance with the attached plan. The filming dates are 24–26 July.

  As the site is located within the Reykjanes National Park, the Environmental Agency issues a permit for filming at the location. However, the Municipality of Hafnarfjörður draws attention to the fact that, according to the available archaeological survey, archaeological remains are recorded at Gvendarsel. These are the remains of a settlement – and stone walls – believed to be the remains of the so-called Gvendarsel, after which Gvendarselshæð is named. Furthermore, the area in question is within a buffer zone for a water protection area, and the Health Surveillance Authority for the Hafnarfjörður and Kópavogur area must therefore be contacted regarding the water protection.

  F&C Ltd, Fífuvellir 28, 221 Hafnarfjörður, is applying for a permit to place a soup van at Seltún from 1 June to 15 September. Opening hours are from 10 am to 8 pm. This is the same soup truck as last summer, but the ownership has changed.

  The planning and building officer's meeting authorises the placement of the soup van for the period in question, but draws attention to the fact that there is no accessible electricity at Seltún.
  The permit is granted on the condition of good stewardship, causing as little disturbance as possible, and that anything disturbed will be put right. As the Krýsuvík area is within the Reykjanes National Park, which is protected under nature conservation law, special care must be taken not to cause pollution, damage or negative environmental impact.

  Please note that the area is located at Seltún, a very active area of volcanic craters and boreholes. The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður accepts no liability for any damage that may result from this activity.
  All rubbish and debris must be removed at the end of the day, and the area left in a satisfactory condition.
