Brista business area – Consultation prior to an application for a permit under the Environmental Code
There is a need to supply northern Greater Stockholm and the Mälardalen region with business areas connected to the railway. Sigtuna Municipality is therefore drawing up a detailed development plan for the Brista business area within the property Norrsunda Krogsta 16:3. The plan area, which is located next to the East Coast Line (Ostkustbanan), is suitable for rail-based operations because there is existing infrastructure, including railway switches that can be shared with new operations. The purpose of the detailed development plan is to enable logistics and industrial operations with the possibility of a rail connection to the East Coast Line.
To implement the plan proposal, a watercourse, Rosersbergsbäcken, must be diverted into a new course, wetlands must be constructed, a swamp forest area in the north-eastern part must be filled in, and groundwater must be drained away during construction. Under the Environmental Code, these measures constitute water operations, which require a permit from the Land and Environment Court. Kilenkrysset AB has therefore started work to prepare a permit application. A first step in the permit process is to hold a consultation under Chapter 6 of the Environmental Code with local residents, authorities, organisations and the public.
The consultation mainly concerns digging, excavation, piling and filling in the water area, re-routing Rosersbergsbäcken to a new location, constructing wetlands and ponds for the treatment and retention of stormwater, and draining away groundwater. All within the property Norrsunda Krogsta 16:3.
Comments on the project can be submitted in writing no later than Friday 27 November 2020 to be included in the documentation from this consultation. Written comments should be sent to:
