The government wants to allow building houses up to 70 sqm without permits
17:29
The government plans to approve a draft allowing construction of residential buildings with a 70-square-meter built-up area based on a notification procedure, with the maximum total usable area for such buildings not exceeding 90 square meters, according to the Council of Ministers’ list of legislative and program work. Adoption by the Council of Ministers of the draft amendment to the Construction Law and the Law on Planning and Spatial Development is planned for Q3.
The proposed regulation assumes that in the absence of a local spatial development plan, a decision on development conditions for such facilities will be issued within the maximum period of 30 days. In order to ensure a real shortening of the duration of the proceedings on the issuance of the land development conditions decision, the draft provides for the introduction of a fine for exceeding the aforementioned deadline, imposed by a higher-level authority, it reads.
The bill also provides for a change in the permissible building area of free-standing single-story recreational buildings for temporary rest from the current 35 m2 to 70 m2. In this case, it is planned to introduce a limitation that the span of structural elements in such objects will not be more than 6 m, and the overhang of supports will be limited to 2 m.
