The Supreme Administrative Court rejected appeals concerning the Tuusula master plan 2040
On 5 December 2025, the Supreme Administrative Court issued its decision on the appeals and appeals for leave to appeal concerning the approval of the Tuusula master plan 2040. The decision rejects two appeals and one complaint and upholds the municipal councilu0026#x27;s decision to approve the plan in November 2022.
The Tuusula Municipal Council approved the Tuusula General Plan 2040 at its meeting on 14 November 2022, §133. Six appeals against the decision were lodged with the Helsinki Administrative Court. The Helsinki Administrative Court rejected all appeals in its decision 7469/2023 on 20 December 2023. The Supreme Administrative Court continued to process three appeals. On 5 December
2025, the Supreme Administrative Court issued a decision rejecting two appeals and one appeal. The municipal council’s approval decision of November 2022 remains in force following this decision.
“It’s great that the master plan approved by the council more than three years ago is finally in force. This master plan enables Tuusula to grow and provides it with long-term guidelines,” says Mayor Janne Mellin.
The Tuusula Master Plan 2040 guides the municipality’s land use at a general level and enables the development of Tuusula and strong growth in its population. The master plan reserves areas for housing, jobs, transport, nature conservation and recreational use, among other things.
– The master plan influences and guides the big picture of land use and development in Tuusula. Now, the development of the community structure, transport and service networks can be implemented in a systematic manner in accordance with the guidelines approved by the council. It is therefore important and beneficial that the master plan becomes legally binding, says Albert Andersson, Director of Municipal Development.
The master plan replaces the Hyrylä expansion plans, the Jokela, Maantiekylä and Tuomala local master plans, and parts of the Kellokoski, Sula, Rykmentinpuisto and Ruotsinkylä-Myllykylä II local master plans. The local master plans that remain in force will be updated in five areas: valuable natural sites, aircraft noise areas, transport, workplace expansion areas and municipal engineering service areas.
