Biltema is desperate because the company is only allowed to sell construction materials and tools and not products for boats, homes and outdoor life, which are part of the chain’s usual offer in its Forus store in the municipality of Stavanger .
The municipality wanted to allow the sale of all assets, but the county governor said no. The reason is that the parcel is regulated for so-called “space-consuming commerce,” which the county governor believes is an obstacle to allowing the sale of boat gear, bicycles and camping gear.
FRP deputy leader Sylvi Listhaug believes this is “making rules that just border on insanity,” according to Nettavisen. FRP leader Siv Jensen in the same newspaper called the decision “bureaucratic and anti-business.”
FRP Parliamentary Representative Roy Steffensen has asked Local Government and Modernization Minister Nikolai Astrup (H) to intervene against the county governor, but the minister refuses the thumb. In fact, the Ministry has come to the conclusion that there are no errors in the decision that invalidate it.
With this background, I do not see that the ministry has a basis in the Public Administration Law to intervene in the case. The county governor made a final decision in the case on August 7, 2020, and the decision cannot be considered invalid, “he writes.
