The government is making a call to all citizens 15 days before the end of the deadline for the semi outdoor spaces, including in the law even archeological and historical places in areas outside the urban plan.
At the same time, the regulation is flirting with a new extension, asked also by TEE, as the responsibilities transfer of the urban planning offices from the prefectures to the municipalities and the increased number of applicants at the last minute are creating a mess in the offices and suffering for the citizens.
The mess is confirmed by Nikos Spiropoulos, engineer and architect, exposing his personal Golgotha. Applying in the office of Markopoulo for a building in Vari, they sent him in the new Kallikratian municipality of Vari, Voula, Varkiza. But a new surprise was waiting for him there as that office initially said they were unable to deal with his application and sent him back. Finally, he was accepted by the new municipality after almost a month. According to the new form of the local authorities each municipality must have its own office, which brings the 162 offices so far to 325.
The multiplication of the urban planning offices, still of the most corrupted services of the state, is expected according to president of the TEE Hristos Spirtzis, to extend their organizational and operating problems and mainly their lack of personnel that lately due to the overcrowding for the semi outdoors is all the more apparent.
Up to the neck with circulars!
Recently however, the ministry of Environment sent a new clarifying circular confirming the revenue safari that has began. With it, it is clarified that archeological and historical spaces in out of urban planning areas are included in the regulation, urging all those without authorization to enter the regulation.
It is noted that in law 3843/10 it was stated that «the regulations would not have the buildings out of urban planning and limits of settlements in streams, foreshore, beach, forests and archeological and historical places…» wanting to avoid the legalization of arbitraries.
The circular also notes that from the beginning of the year the new zone prices and limits for the Kallikratean municipalities for the entrance to the regulation are implemented, which have changed in 4.500 areas around the country.
The IRS is not deleting fines
From the explanations of the ministry however, it is noted that the tax offices are unable to «erase» arbitrary fines for buildings that have entered the regulation thus throwing the ball back to the urban planning offices. According to law the received fines are not sought and the uncollected – since the building has entered the regulation – are deleted.
The period of payment of fines is 30 months for residential and 32 months for other use of the property, which can be divided respectively into 10 and 8 equal installments, the first to be paid until April 28, 2011.
But the engineers are complaining for the leak of information from the ministry of Environment that the urban planning offices will audit the permits that end in 5 because this way the holders of these permits seem to abide the law, having done their preparation and not close semi outdoors in relation to all the others.
