The city already owned approximately 70% of the building, while the private limited company Sj\u00f3nver owned approximately 30%. Work on the change to the local plan for L\u00e6kjargata \u2013 Dvergsl\u00f3\u00f0 and possibly the immediate vicinity is planned to begin shortly.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The private limited company Sj\u00f3nver has accepted the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's offer to purchase its 30% share in L\u00e6kjargata 2. The City Council has decided to demolish the building and will proceed with a zoning change in accordance with the zoning plan preview for L\u00e6kjargata 2, which the City Council approved on 17 February. According to the resolution, the plot will be designated for residential use, but other activities, such as shops or workshops, may be permitted on the ground floor.<\/p>\n<p>The plot is in a desirable area for residential development but has been under-utilised for years, and the house is an eyesore for the town's appearance. It offers views over the stream, the churchyard and part of the town centre. In designing the buildings to be erected on the site, the town council resolution stipulates that they must be designed with consideration for the fact that it is in a sensitive area adjacent to the established town centre. Efforts shall be made to integrate the buildings with the adjacent properties on L\u00e6kjargata and Brekkugata in terms of form, choice of materials and proportions, so that they appear as a natural extension of the existing development. In general, construction is not intended to exceed two storeys plus a loft. Flats should be of varying sizes, with at least 30% of them being small flats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>B\u00e6jarr\u00e1\u00f0 Hafnarfjar\u00f0arb\u00e6jar, \u00ed umbo\u00f0i b\u00e6jarstj\u00f3rnar, hefur \u00e1kve\u00f0i\u00f0 a\u00f0 kaupa L\u00e6kjarg\u00f6tu 2 sem \u00ed daglegu tali gengur undir nafninu Dvergur.
