Developer ignors laws & regulations
Posted: 10 Feb 2018 21:52
Dear all, I need your advice.
The developer (a fairly large and well-known group) builds a new house (expensive villa) under the new Passport Program (popular among foreign buyers, mostly Russians and Chinese) near our house, but does not adhere to the adopted standards in our zone (Build / Coverage 40% and 25% respectively, maximum height 8.3 m). In reality, the standards for the area have been exceeded by more than 2 times (100% building and 80% cover), height - more than 12 m (in 4 levels) The municipality explained that the developer submitted an application for the construction of an apartment building/block (although zoning does not allow - all the existing) and not the house/villa. The question "why allowed this construction? " was not distinctly answered (the municipality representative just mentioned that for apartments buildings the issue different planning/building permits irrespective of the zone and formally the developer complies with regulation). Who faced similar issues and what to do in this case?
