Around 700 modules in the area must lack a building permit according to the notification. The modules are used as offices and staff rooms but may now be closed.
– In this area, we cannot see today that there is any permit for those modules, says Enar Nordvik, head of building permits in Skellefteå municipality.
Northvolt must have submitted an application that was completed two weeks ago, but according to information to P4 Västerbotten, the modules have been in the area throughout 2024.
