The use of public areas for different events requires a permit. Using streets, sidewalks, cycleways and green areas for something else than their intended purpose is subject to a permit. A permit is also required for setting up advertisements and signposts, using areas to store goods or land material, building additional connections to a plot, moving a connection or changing its purpose, laying pipes for a side ditch and joining the city’s storm drainage system.
