Miljöprövningsdelegation
The environmental assessment delegation (miljöprövningsdelegationen) is the part of the County Administrative Board (Länsstyrelsen) that decides on environmental permits for larger facilities. It assesses whether an activity can be allowed and what conditions are then to apply to protect people and the environment. The fact that the assessment lies at the regional level with the County Administrative Board allows local conditions to be taken into account while the decisions follow the shared environmental legislation.
