Construction control

The deputies voted in the second final reading for amendments to the Civil and Land Codes, the Government submitted the initiative to the PMR Supreme Council. Work on this law-in-draft has been in the Parliament for a long time. 

The document should optimize the legal mechanisms that determine the procedure for the forced termination of rights to land due to their non-use for their intended purpose and to correct the procedure for the alienation of an object of construction in progress located on a land plot, the right to which has been terminated.

Some additions to the law stipulate in particular a list of circumstances when a land plot cannot be used for its intended purpose. We are talking about natural disasters and natural disasters, the lack of technical ability to connect to engineering networks, which is why the facility cannot be put into operation. However, this lack of technical capability will need to be proven.

The deputies of the relevant Committee on the agro-industrial complex, industry, transport, construction and natural resources noted that in these cases the period of possible use of the land plot would be extended. As for the rest, if after the allocation of the site within three years there are no construction and installation works in accordance with the project documentation, it can be withdrawn and put up for public auction. These changes will affect not only residential development, but also commercial facilities.

The new version of the law stipulates that the use of a land plot intended for housing and other construction, in accordance with its intended purpose, begins from the day a decision is made to allocate a plot. The building permit itself is issued for the entire period provided for by the project documentation for the construction of a capital construction facility. Permit for individual housing construction is issued for a period not exceeding ten years.
