Reasons must be given for its decision, whether it denies or accepts an application for dispensation from requirements.
Både avslag og innvilgelse av en dispensasjonssøknad skal begrunnes.
The fact that the municipality has decided to apply certain principles in relation to granting dispensation from certain rules in the building code and that no good reason has been found to suggest the need to depart from these principles in the case in hand, generally constitutes tenable grounds for denying an application for dispensation.
At kommunen har inntatt et prinsipielt standpunkt i forhold til visse typer dispensasjoner fra byggesaksreglene, og at man ikke finner grunn til å fravike disse i dette bestemte tilfelle, vil normalt være en holdbar begrunnelse.
Nevertheless, it must be clear that the municipality has considered the details of the specific application for dispensation from requirements, including the applicant's reasons and other relevant arguments.
Det må likevel komme frem at kommunen konkret har vurdert den enkelte dispensasjonssøknad, både søkerens og andre relevante argumenter.
In addition, there will be certain limits to the practice of professional judgement in relation to the "may" assessment.
Det vil også være visse skranker for skjønnsutøvelsen i forhold til «kan» – vurderingen.
By contrast, the municipality is not allowed to judge freely whether there are adequate special reasons for granting dispensation.
Kommunen kan derimot ikke fritt vurdere om det foreligger særlige grunner.
This is a case of assessment according to the application of the law, which entails that the municipality must accept the reasons if they lie within the bounds of what is normally accepted as an eligible special reason.
Dette er et såkalt «rettsanvendelsesskjønn», som betyr at kommunen må godta grunnene dersom de ligger innenfor det som normalt aksepteres som særlige grunner.
In the event of a decision being appealed, it is the county governor that will assess whether the cited grounds represent an accepted interpretation of the concept of "special reasons".
Ved en eventuell klage er det fylkesmannen som vurderer om dette ligger innenfor en akseptert tolkning av begrepet «særlige grunner».
Although, user participation is not a legal prerequisite in the consideration of each individual application for building permission, municipalities are urged to consult the users in the processing of building applications where there is no question of granting dispensation from the requirements regarding accessibility.
For den enkelte byggesak er likevel ikke medvirkning lovmessig forutsatt, men det oppfordres til at kommunen gjennomfører dette i byggesaks¬prosesser dersom dispensasjon fra tilgjengelighetskravene er aktuelt.

Hydropower lies at the nexus of water and energy and has a key role in getting the optimum use of multi-purpose water storage schemes, often being an economic catalyst for their implementation by sales of clean, renewable and affordable domestic energy.
