Samråd versus granskning — two Plan- och bygglagen windows, not one comment box

Reading order

Seat the statute chapter before any municipal landing page. Planning and Building Act 2010:900 chapter 5 names two different windows. Samråd collects knowledge early. Granskning shows the proposal the municipality intends to adopt. Write the window, the procedure class and the date on one line before you say the hall commented on the plan.

Then keep the two clocks on their own rows. Standard samråd has no statutory minimum length. Extended samråd is at least three weeks plus a notice. Standard granskning is at least two weeks. Extended granskning is at least three weeks, or thirty days where significant environmental impact is expected. Do not paste a three-week slide onto a standard-procedure samråd.

Then keep the undersökning inside samråd. Chapter 5 sections 11 a–b, as Boverket records them, put that test before granskning. A later granskning window does not reopen the undersökning as a second start. Länsstyrelsen’s samråd comment and its granskning comment are also different objects: knowledge-gathering versus intervention grounds and a possible överprövning warning.

Then keep named project rows as geography, not as plan files. Microsoft’s 16 November 2021 municipalities, EcoDataCenter Falun, Google Horndal, atNorth SWE04 Sollefteå and evroc Arlandastad stay operator papers. This register does not publish a samrådsredogörelse or a granskningsutlåtande for those cadastral units.

• Samråd collects knowledge early. Granskning shows the intended proposal.
• Standard samråd has no statutory minimum. Extended samråd is at least three weeks.
• The undersökning of significant environmental impact finishes before granskning.
• The three-week överprövning clock after adoption is a later object.

What a samråd clock and a granskning clock actually measure

Samråd measures an early statutory conversation. Boverket says it exists so the plan basis can improve and so others can see the work. It is not a vote and not a reserved construction right. A comment filed only at granskning has missed the window where the municipality is still gathering knowledge.

Granskning measures the last statutory comment window on the processed proposal. The file that must be held available includes the samrådsredogörelse. That redogörelse records how samråd comments were handled. A later granskningsutlåtande records how granskning comments were handled. Neither document is a bygglov, a marklov, an environmental permit, a line concession or a grid reservation.

Länsstyrelsen’s granskning comment measures intervention grounds. A warning that the board may överpröva is not itself an överprövning. The three-week clock in chapter 11 section 10, as worded by Act 2025:514, starts after adoption. Do not treat that clock as the two-week granskning minimum.

Operator notices measure existence and intention, not the municipal file. A named campus town is a paper-class geography. It does not prove which window is open, whether the undersökning is finished, or whether a comment changed the adopted plan.

What named primary sources show

Boverket’s samråd page, last changed 1 April 2026, remains the dated national commentary for the early-knowledge purpose, the always-consulted bodies, the unregulated standard-procedure clock and the extended three-week-plus-notice clock. Boverket’s granskning page, last changed the same day, remains the dated commentary for the last-comment purpose, the two-week and three-week and thirty-day clocks, the file that must be held available, and the three-week överprövning clock after adoption.

Planning and Building Act 2010:900 chapter 5, and chapter 11 section 10 as worded by Act 2025:514, remain the statutory papers. Boverket’s detaljplan and PBL overview pages remain the neighbouring letterheads. Named operator rows remain geography.

No cited source here publishes a project-specific samrådsredogörelse, a granskningsutlåtande or a reserved hall megawatt created by a plan comment.

A matrix instead of one comment-box slogan

Draw one page with object rows and evidence columns. Samråd, granskning, undersökning, samrådsredogörelse, the three-week överprövning clock and a named campus town are different columns. Empty cells stay empty. A campus press note is a geography footnote, not a plan file.

Do not invent a municipal week or a hall footprint from the handbook clocks. Those remain statutory minima and unregulated standard-procedure facts from two dated Boverket pages.

Common misreads

The first misread is to collapse samråd and granskning into one comment box. The statute split them. The clocks are different. The purpose is different. The second is to treat a standard-procedure samråd as a three-week minimum. Boverket says that clock is not regulated in the standard procedure. The third is to treat the two-week granskning minimum as the three-week överprövning clock after adoption.

The fourth is to treat a named campus town as proof that a hall already sits inside a named Swedish plan window. The operator page named a town. It did not publish the samrådsredogörelse. The fifth is to treat a late granskning comment as a cure for a missed samråd. The sixth is to invent a municipal week or a hall megawatt. The seventh is to collapse this page into the översiktsplan-versus-detaljplan page or the planbesked page.

What to ask next

Ask which window and which procedure class anyone is quoting — standard or extended, samråd or granskning — and which dated municipal file you actually hold. Ask whether the undersökning is finished. Ask whether a three-week slide has been pasted onto a standard-procedure samråd.

Then open the detaljplan hub, the planbesked page, the översiktsplan-versus-detaljplan page and the riksintressen page. If the operator will not name the window and the date, record the gap. Do not fill it from a we-commented slide. This page is not legal advice.

1. Is the plan in samråd or in granskning — and is the procedure standard or extended?
2. Has the undersökning of significant environmental impact finished before granskning?
3. Has a three-week slide been pasted onto a standard-procedure samråd?
4. Has the three-week överprövning clock been treated as the granskning window?
5. Has a campus town been treated as a samrådsredogörelse?

What this does and does not prove

This page proves that Boverket already publishes samråd and granskning as two different Plan- och bygglagen windows, with different purposes, audiences and clocks, and that the undersökning of significant environmental impact sits inside samråd before granskning — and that those facts are not a reserved hall megawatt.

It does not prove that a named Swedish hall sits inside a named plan window. It does not invent a municipal week for Horndal or Arlandastad. It does not treat a campus press note as a samrådsredogörelse.

Empty cells stay empty. Until a later primary source names the window, the procedure class and the dated municipal file, the consultation clock stays a method, not a census. DataCenterSweden records the method.
