The City of Helsinki has changed the timetable for the processing of the Protection and complementary construction of Länsi-Herttoniemi plan by a few months. Previously, the intention was for the process to start at the end of October.
This is an extensive amendment of the local detailed plan, which has already been prepared during the previous council period of office. Before presenting the plan to the Urban Environment Committee, the City aims to make sure that the decision-making process has been carried out impeccably thus far.
The Urban Environment Committee will discuss the matter and continue to make decisions on the plan in early 2026.
The detailed plan being prepared for Länsi-Herttoniemi aims to protect the area's most valuable buildings and park areas, and to define where new homes can be built.
Urban infill development sites have been outlined on the edges of green spaces. The starting point is that new construction should be implemented in the spirit of Länsi-Herttoniemi in terms of scale and appearance.
