<html>Engineers and construction technicians criticize Prague's building regulations</html>
 |
"The regulation introduces ambiguous regulations defining spatial limits for buildings and ambiguous height limits. This ambiguity in requirements creates conditions for possible corrupt behavior of builders and other individuals," asserts Bukovský, an expert on civil engineering, testing, and building diagnostics.
The Chamber also criticizes the unclear rules for defining public spaces and their qualitative standards. "The regulation also directive requires the development of a dense city regardless of the needs of the residents and the locality," Bukovský added as another criticism.
According to ČKAIT, Prague's building regulations are confusing in relation to the building law, additionally restricting the requirements for the safety and quality of buildings, for example, by eliminating requirements for sunlight in apartments or by reducing their clear height.
"We recommend that the new Prague building regulations be issued simultaneously with the amendment to the building law, which is being prepared for next year. If they are not compatible with national regulations, then it is better to remove the provision in the building law that allows the city of Prague to issue its own building regulations," Bukovský suggests.
Prague's building regulations are an implementing regulation to the building law. The billboard lobby launched a strong media campaign last year in protest against the regulations. They disagree with the advertising regulations that the regulations introduced. It also referred to a long-term contract between Prague and JCDecaux, which supposedly disadvantages competitors in the advertising field. Architects and developers, on the other hand, welcomed the change.
The Ministry for Regional Development abolished the regulations in January due to several complaints, leading to a demonstration by part of the professional public. After several delays, the council finally approved two amendments to the regulations last week. The temporary amendment is expected to come into effect in about two months.
The police have started to show interest in the regulations, and based on a prompt, the antimonopoly office is currently investigating them as well.
