<p>Some Prague councils disagree with the new building regulations</p>
 |
"We state that the regulations enforced by Mayor Hudeček solely at the council meeting are harmful to the entire metropolis and restrict and endanger the citizens of this city," writes in the letter the preparatory committee, which includes, for example, the mayor of Prague 2, Jana Černochová (ODS), the mayor of Prague 1, Oldřich Lomecký (TOP 09), and Jan Jarolím (ODS) from Prague 9.
In the letter, representatives of some municipalities indicate their concerns about the absence of standards for lighting new apartments or the number of parking spaces and the densification of developments in gaps within the city. They are also concerned that new apartments may have lower ceilings. They also stated that the Prague building regulations should be approved by the European Commission.
Hudeček disagrees with the criticisms and considers the letter part of an electoral campaign. "The petitioners who signed this call were invited to expert discussions, comments were given double the mandatory response time, and we really cannot be held responsible for sending officials in their stead," said the mayor to ČTK.
About a month ago, the Association of Outdoor Advertising Operators (SPVR), primarily backed by BigBoard, launched a campaign against the mayor and the regulations. The regulations restrict billboards over six square meters. In the future, new ones cannot be erected, and the current ones will disappear once their temporary building permits expire. Against Hudeček, the advertising company has put up posters and launched websites.
The building regulations were approved by the Prague councilors in July and came into effect on October 1. Besides regulating advertising, the regulations limit the expansion of the city at the expense of open land and prioritize the development of unused areas. They also define terms like street line and building line. The Czech Chamber of Architects supported the regulations.
