DNSK to have more powers  - 1

The Directorate for National Construction Control (DNSC) to be able to issue mandatory instructions to mayors in the case of detected illegal objects from the fourth to sixth category. The temporary connections to networks and facilities of the technical infrastructure of the movable sites should be implemented with the issuance of a building permit.

These are part of the changes in the Territorial Planning Law proposed by “There is such a people”, explains economic.bg. Their goal is to reduce the administrative burden, release the chief architects from extraneous functions and introduce higher responsibilities of the designers and the persons assessing the compliance of the investment projects with the basic requirements for the constructions.

In the reasons, it is stated that the changes enable the DNSK bodies to exercise more effective control over the activities of the municipal administrations in relation to constructions of the fourth, fifth and sixth categories. If the instructions of DNSK are not followed, sanctions will be imposed.

Many complaints and reports have been received by the Ministry of Urban Planning and Development and at the bodies of the National Development and Reform Commission regarding the lack of effective control by the municipal administrations for violations related to constructions of the fourth, fifth and sixth categories,“, according to ITN.

Precisely for better control, it has been proposed that in the case of violations related to constructions of the fourth to sixth categories, DNSK should send the mayor of the municipality a finding protocol with mandatory instructions and a deadline for taking follow-up actions. If the orders of DNSK are not implemented, fines of BGN 1,000 to BGN 5,000 will be imposed.

In settlements and settlements without sewerage, domestic waste water is discharged and purified in treatment facilities, with an exception proposed - for residential buildings with up to three dwellings and for cottage buildings, domestic waste water can be discharged into watertight cesspools .

It is proposed to drop the number of floors, as well as the shape and slope of the roofs from the working layout plan. The latter should be determined with an investment project, in compliance with the general requirements for determining the height and character of the building. With the silhouettes to the working development plan, the maximum heights of the buildings should be determined depending on the nature of the development area, and the number of floors that can be located at this height is irrelevant.

It is proposed that the compliance assessment of the investment projects for all constructions from the first to the fifth category be carried out only with a complex report by a consultant meeting the requirements of Art. 166 and Art. 167 of the ZUT. Thus, the current possibility for some of the constructions of the fifth category to be carried out with the approval of an expert council of the approving administration is eliminated.

Many of the municipal administrations cannot provide the necessary staff of experts with design legal capacity for all project parts”, the petitioners state.

It is proposed that the period for approval be 14 days from the submission to the relevant administration. It is currently 30 days old.

Temporary connections to networks and facilities of the technical infrastructure of the movable sites should be implemented with the issuance of a construction permit, ITN also suggests.

In order to facilitate the investment process, it is suggested that the contracting authority does not submit data on administrative acts that have entered into force, which, depending on the type and size of the construction, are a necessary condition for permitting construction under the Environmental Protection Act and the Biological Act variety.

Enforced environmental impact assessment (EIA) decision will not be required and will not be an application, an integral part of the building permit for sites within the boundaries of a settlement or settlement entity. The authorities that issued a construction permit, when notifying the relevant bodies of the National Security Agency, will also send a copy of the report on the assessment of compliance of the investment project.
