/ world as we speak information/ On the finish of January 2017, the Nationwide Meeting voted on amendments to the Regulation on Territorial Planning. Thanks to those amendments, the corporate “Artex” managed to appreciate its landmark mission – a 34-story skyscraper within the capital’s “Lozenets” district, which is at the moment nonetheless below building, Svobodna Europa stories.
The amendments have been launched by deputies from the GERB group, whose chairman is Tsvetanov, and supported by a vote within the corridor personally by him. At the moment, the Speaker of the Parliament was Tsetska Tsacheva.
The modification was launched between the primary and second studying of the regulation.
It’s concerning the skyscraper reverse the Marinella Resort, which Artex calls the “Golden Age”.
How a century turns into golden
At the moment (2017), the mission for a 34-story constructing obtained a building allow ten years in the past from the then chief architect of Sofia, Petar Dikov. It comes into impact months earlier than the detailed improvement plan (DSP) for the world is adopted.
The constructing allow was issued to Rumen Markov and Zhaneta Mladenova. Then the property was owned by the corporate “Kristela”, which was managed by the proprietor of the development firm “Artex” Plamen Miryanov. The long run skyscraper is already included within the “Artex” portfolio and is marketed as a “Golden Age” constructing.
In the mean time when Artex begins building in keeping with the Regulation on Territorial Planning (ZUT), constructing permits are legitimate for five years, however are recertified for much more if building truly begins.
Thus, in 2012, the constructing allow was recertified by Petar Dikov in his capability as chief architect for an additional 5 years. His act is predicated on a protocol for the opening of a building web site from January 2010. By regulation, that is the final potential extension of the deadline. Once more, by regulation, building actions have to be accomplished on the finish of 2017 and the tough building of the constructing have to be accomplished, i.e. that she took Act 14.
“In 2017, there was nothing, there was an indication and an indication that “Artex” was constructing. The development works themselves began a lot later,” lawyer Nikola Vaptsarov, who’s a member of the “Lozenets” Initiative Committee protesting in opposition to the skyscraper, informed Svobodna Europa.
It is because of this (the virtually unstarted building) that “Artex” has no strategy to end its constructing.
This was till January 21, 2017, when the Nationwide Meeting adopted an modification to the Regulation on Territorial Planning, in keeping with which constructing permits for first and second class constructions are legitimate for 10 years after the beginning of building, as a substitute of 5, as earlier than .
The texts entered into power in February of the identical yr – i.e. 7 years after the formal opening of the Artex Golden Age building web site and 10 years after the development allow was issued.
Tsvetanov – “for”
76 individuals’s representatives voted for the textual content in query (Article 153 of the ZUT) at lunchtime on January 25. A parliamentary reference signifies that 61 persons are from GERB, two from BSP, six from the Reform Bloc, three from ABV and 4 individuals from BDCNS.
Amongst those that voted for the textual content was the chairman of the GERB group Tsvetan Tsvetanov, who a yr and a half later took benefit of Artex’s VIP building.
What subsequent
Earlier than the entry into power of this authorized modification, on December 14, 2016, the proprietor of “Golden Age” requested the re-certification of the constructing allow and paid the required BGN 260,000.
In help of his request, on January 25, 2017, he hooked up an opinion of the regional minister from January 20 (Lilyana Pavlova was in workplace on the time), which states that there is no such thing as a impediment to revalidation of the allow.
Nonetheless, at the start of February (instantly after the amendments voted by GERB), the proprietor of the property needs this process to be terminated, as he’ll await the entry into power of the brand new modifications within the ZUT and insists that the BGN 260,000 paid be returned to him.
After the entry into power of the regulation, he initiated the process below the brand new textual content for a 10-year extension. On this state of affairs, no price is because of the municipality.
An fascinating level is that with a purpose to prolong the deadline for the development of the skyscraper, a beforehand unused process was resorted to.
One of many causes for this can be a letter from the Minister of Regional Growth Nikolay Nankov, through which it’s stated that “the deadline for the completion of building is 10 years from the beginning of building” and “is legitimate till 11.01.2020, in keeping with Artwork. 153 , paragraph 2, merchandise 3 of ZUT”.
It’s on this case that the chief architect of Sofia Zdravko Zdravkov explains to “Mediapool” that the ZUT doesn’t point out whether or not this new provision, which the regional minister additionally refers to in his second letter on the case, applies solely to these issued after its entry into power paperwork. Thus, it is usually utilized to a welded case.
Nonetheless, a verify discovered that this assertion just isn’t totally true both. Paragraph 58 of the Transitional and Closing Provisions of the Planning Act clearly states that the amended textual content impacts new constructing permits. Nonetheless, why within the case of “Artex” it has the alternative impact, we will solely guess.
