Suunnitteilla oleva rakennushanke tarvitsee poikkeamisluvan, jos: * hanke poikkeaa lainvoimaisen asemakaavan tai oikeusvaikutteisen yleiskaavan määräyksistä * alueella on voimassa oleva rakennuskielto * hanke sijoittuu rantavyöhykkeelle, jonka rakentamista ei ole määrätty yleis- tai asemakaavalla. Poikkeamislupa voidaan myöntää vain erityisestä syystä. (Rakentamislaki 57 §)

How to use it

Poikkeamisluvan edellytyksistä on syytä keskustella ensin rakennustarkastajan kanssa, joka antaa myös ohjeita hakemuksen täyttöön. ### Hakemus ja ohjeet Hakemus tehdään Rakennusvalvonnan sähköisessä asiointipalvelussa. Liitteeksi vaaditaan aina asemapiirustus ja selvitykset naapureiden kuulemisesta. Lisäksi tarvitaessa hakemuksen liitteeksi vaaditaan: * mikäli rakentaminen ei edellytä poikkeamisluvan lisäksi rakentamislupaa, tulee hakemuksen liitteenä esittää julkisivupiirustukset sekä muut mahdolliset selvitykset hankkeen vaikutuksista * selvitys omistus- tai hallintaoikeudesta rakennuspaikkaan (kauppakirja, vuokrasopimus tai valtakirja), jos hakija ei ole voimassa olevan lainhuutotodistuksen mukainen omistaja. Kirjoita hakemukseen selkeästi: * mistä määräyksestä haet poikkeamista * mitkä ovat perustelut poikkeamisen hakemiselle.

Conditions

Poikkeamislupaa tulee hakea ja poikkeamiseen tulee aina olla perusteltu syy. Poikkeamisen tulee johtaa parempaan ratkaisuun esimerkiksi ympäristön, turvallisuuden, palvelutason, rakennuksen tai rakennuspaikan tarkoituksenmukaisen käytön, suojelutavoitteiden tai liikenneolojen kannalta, kuin mihin päästäisiin säännösten mukaisella rakentamisella. Henkilöön liittyvät syyt eivät ole peruste poikkeamisen myöntämiselle. Hakemuksessa ja naapurienkuulemisissa tulee olla kaikkien kiinteistönomistajien tai haltijoiden allekirjoitukset tai valtakirjat. Jos naapurikiinteistön omistus on kuolinpesällä, riittää yhden osakkaan tiedottaminen ja allekirjoitus. Osakkaan on ilmoitettava tiedoksisaannista muille pesän osakkaille. (Hallintolaki 57 §) Naapurien kuulemisen voi hoitaa sähköisesti Rakennusvalvonnan sähköisessä asiointipalvelussa. Tarvittaessa voit tulostaa paperilomakkeen asiointipalvelusta ja liittää sen hakemukselle. Myönteisen poikkeamispäätöksen lisäksi tarvitaan yleensä rakentamislupa. Rakentamislupa on jätettävä vireille poikkeamispäätöksen voimassaolon aikana, mutta poikkeamislupapäätöksen ei tarvitse olla voimassa, kun rakentamislupa myönnetään. Mikäli hanke ei tarvitse myönteisen poikkeamispäätöksen jälkeen rakentamislupaa, tulee rakennushankkeeseen ryhtyvän huolehtia, että hanke toteutetaan täsmälleen myönnetyn poikkeamisluvan mukaisesti. Ennen poikkeamista koskevan asian ratkaisemista kunta varaa tilaisuuden kirjallisen muistutuksen tekemiseen naapureille ja muille, joiden asumiseen, työntekoon tai muihin oloihin hanke saattaa huomattavasti vaikuttaa. Kunta tiedottaa poikkeamisesta koskevasta hakemuksesta edellä mainituille tahoille. Kunta voi periä tiedottamisesta aiheutuneet kustannukset hakijalta. Ennen poikkeamista koskevan asian ratkaisemista kunta pyytää tarvittaessa elinkeino-, liikenne- ja ympäristökeskuksen, muun valtion viranomaisen tai maakunnan liiton lausunnon, jos poikkeaminen koskee merkittävästi niiden toimialaa.

Description

In early childhood education, each child’s development and learning are supported individually. Our goal is to ensure that every child receives the right kind of support at the right time, both in daily routines and during the transition to pre-primary education. Early, well-targeted support promotes well-being and prevents challenges from becoming more complex. Support is provided primarily within the child’s own group as part of everyday daycare or family daycare. Flexible practices—such as visual aids, sign-supported communication, small-group activities, and calm, structured moments—help children feel safe, participate, and learn. When needed, we collaborate with professionals such as child health clinics or therapists. ### Levels of Support Support is organised on three levels to match each child’s individual needs. General support is part of everyday activity. A child may need help with language development, dressing, social play, or joining group activities. Most children benefit from this level of support. If general support is not sufficient, intensified support can be provided. It is regular, planned, and may include several support measures. A formal decision is made, and guardians are always consulted beforehand. Special support is the strongest level. It is provided when the child’s needs are extensive or when a disability, illness, or developmental delay requires it. It is continuous and comprehensive, and it also requires a formal decision. ### Forms of Support All three support levels may include pedagogical, structural, and care-related measures. Pedagogical support includes: * a clear and predictable daily routine * small-group activities * the use of pictures, signs, and other communication tools * support from a special education teacher Structural support includes: * adjusting group size or the environment * additional staff or an assistant * strengthening staff competence * guidance from a special education teacher Care-related support addresses health needs, such as: * assistive devices * special diets * help with daily routines * managing medical needs like diabetes care Our aim is to tailor support so that each child can grow, learn, and feel well in a safe and encouraging environment.
