Dalgård Residential Development near Idrettspark

Varierte boliger på 20 dekar

The development project is proposed by the company Dalgård Eiendom AS, formed by the housing companies TOBB, Reitan Eiendom, and Erik Ohr Eiendom AS. The plan involves constructing residential buildings on a 20-decare site adjacent to Dalgård idrettspark and the ice rink. Currently, the area includes a protected barn, an old equestrian center with riding arena, and a parking lot. The proposal envisions a varied housing typology, with six six-story apartment blocks and 14 townhouses, targeting a wide range of residents including singles, couples, families, and seniors, with a focus on meeting Trondheim's high demand for senior housing.

Soneendringer for høyere tetthet

The existing zoning designates eight decares of the area as 'blågrønn struktur' (blue-green structure), which protects water and vegetation to manage stormwater and maintain biodiversity. Five decares are reserved for sports facilities, which according to the city council, safeguard long-term development possibilities for the nearby sports complex. The remaining land is currently zoned as byggesone 3 (building zone 3), but the developer seeks to rezone part to byggesone 2 to allow higher building density and reduced parking requirements.

Politisk skepsis og kulturvern

The project has faced significant political and administrative skepticism. A pre-application meeting in August 2025 with the municipality’s planning office indicated the plan would be rejected due to multiple deviations from the new municipal master plan (KPA). The city antiquarian also expressed concerns that the proposal does not adequately protect the area's cultural and historical values. Consequently, no formal public initiation meeting was held. Despite this, Selberg Arkitekter, representing the developers, has requested that the proposal proceed to political review.

Sportsområde under vurdering

When the case was reviewed by the city development committee in December, politicians asked for clarification regarding the use of the five decares assigned to sports purposes within the plan area. The latest documentation confirms that this area is sufficient for standalone sports buildings such as halls or sports facilities. Further decision-making is scheduled for January 7, 2026, when the topic will be revisited by the city development committee.
