Regulated zones exist around the airport in the shape of obstacle limitation surfaces that consist of partly a horizontal surface and a conical surface, partly approach and take-off surfaces in continuation of the runway. The area is located under the airport’s obstacle limitation surface, and is covered by the horizontal surface, where buildings and other facilities cannot be established higher than level 61.0 metres and roads no higher than level 56.0 metres.

The existing available space is to be reserved for the construction of a new hotel as well as extension of existing functions in the area. The architectural design of buildings are to be determined in due consideration of the surrounding preservation-worthy buildings. Existing buildings in the area are not to be demolished or altered through rehabilitation and extension. Repair and maintenance of these buildings is to duly consider each building’s original structure and architecture. Unbuilt areas are to be designed to ensure that the area as a whole appears as a harmonic urban environment
