Protect Culture Venues from Noise Complaints and Closures
The Culture Committee will consider a proposal for the City of Stockholm to introduce a model to protect cultural and entertainment venues from forced relocation or closure due to noise complaints from new residents. This includes an "agent of change" principle, making the developer of new buildings responsible for noise protection. The Culture Administration believes that the statutory right to complain about noise cannot be contractually waived, as it is regulated by the Environmental Code, and would require legislative changes.
This summary is based on the meeting agenda. We'll update when the minutes are published.
