Cheb will limit the appearance of buildings in the former barracks with a regulatory plan

Cheb - The city of Cheb will restrict the appearance of buildings in the site of the former barracks at Zlatý vrch. This will be the first time the city will implement construction regulations in a specific area. The mayor of Cheb, Petr Navrátil (ČSSD), stated today to reporters that he wants the hillside, visible from large parts of the city, to look representative.

“This is another level of territorial documentation. While the zoning plan defines the usage of the area, the regulatory plan specifies, for example, how far houses should be from sidewalks, how many floors they can have, or what color the facades should be. We want to regulate this area more because it is visible from the city and from the towers,” Navrátil described.

Cheb has previously commissioned an architectural study of the former barracks at Zlatý vrch. The zoning study and the regulatory plan will be based on it. The city leadership does not yet know when the regulatory plan will be prepared. This is the first such document that Cheb will prepare, so the city hall lacks experience with it, but the city is also not rushing. Currently, former military structures are still being demolished on the site.

The architectural study anticipates the construction of about a dozen apartment buildings and many family houses. Zlatý vrch is currently the most significant development area of the city for residential construction. At the same time, it connects the built-up part of the city with Špitálský vrch, where the city could also expand in the future.
