Decision 43 COM 8B.47
Bryggen (Norway)

The World Heritage Committee,

Having examined Documents WHC/19/43.COM/8B.Add and WHC/19/43.COM/INF.8B1.Add,
Refers the proposed buffer zone for Bryggen, Norway, back to the State Party in order to allow it to:
1. Extend the buffer zone to include a wider area in the northeast part of the property, as it could prevent urban pressure to directly impact the World Heritage property; or to provide a clear and solid rationale for the exclusion of this area,
2. Undertake a Heritage Impact Assessment regarding the future tram track that will pass in the buffer zone, to assess the potential impact on Bryggen’s Outstanding Universal Value.
