      Discussion on the planning of the area west of Straumsvík, which was deferred for 4 years in the 2005–2025 Master Plan for Hafnarfjörður. The deferral expires on 18.05.11. A response letter from the Planning Authority, dated 08.04.11, which states that the procedure according to Article 31 of the Planning Act no. 123/2010 does not apply, and therefore the postponement does not need to be advertised.

      The Planning and Building Committee agrees to postpone the area's master plan for a further 4 years, in accordance with the authority in Article 33 of the Planning Act no. 123/2010, and refers the matter otherwise to the revision of the Master Plan of Hafnarfjörður, which the City Council of Hafnarfjörður approved on 30 June 2010, work on which was to commence. The Planning and Building Committee makes the following recommendation to the City Council: “The City Council of Hafnarfjörður approves a postponement of part of the Master Plan of Hafnarfjörður 2005–2025, the area west of Straumsvík, for a further 4 years in accordance with the authorisation in Article 33 of the Planning Act no. 123/2010.“;
