- The Municipality’s Technical Administration
Providesinformation on which buildings and premises can be used for businesspurposes. Not all premises can be used for business purposes – e.g. ifthey are located in a housing area.
You are, however, allowed torun business from home as long as the activity does not disturb thesurroundings. If you run a translation agency alone it will not be aproblem running it from home.
However, you would soon get into trouble if you were to sell used cars from your house in a housing estate area. - The Municipality’s Environmental Control
