Kommunen godkjenner ny kvartal

The city council has approved the construction of a new Bunnpris quarter at Charlottenlund, situated on the plots Jakobslivegen 7 and Tunvegen 5 and 5A. The development will replace the existing Bunnpris store with a completely new commercial and residential quarter.

Ny butikk og boligbygg planlagt

The project involves building a brand-new Bunnpris supermarket along with the addition of 20-25 residential units distributed over two apartment buildings. These buildings will each have three stories above a basement level that includes a parking garage, thus providing both housing and parking facilities onsite.

Politisk uenighet om vei-krav

The approval process included debate about the sequencing of infrastructure upgrades, particularly the Brundalsforbindelsen road connection. A majority of politicians argued that it was unreasonable to require completion of Brundalsforbindelsen before starting construction, citing project scale and prior delays. Opposition parties, including SV and MDG, advocated for maintaining this sequencing requirement but were outvoted.

Få støtter alternative løsninger

Concerns were raised about the project's mass and its adaptation to the neighborhood character, with alternative proposals suggesting rejection of the plans. However, these alternatives only found support from a small minority, including SV and one independent representative.

Utbygger klar til oppstart

IK Lykke Eiendom AS is the developer authorized to commence the project, signaling a firm timeline following the city council's decision on January 30, 2025.
