Danang to set height limit to buildings
According to Danang Department of Construction, plots of land that are smaller than 1,200 square metres in the city centre will not be allowed to build high-rise buildings.
Investors will only be allowed to build up to nine floors on linked plots of lands. However, investors are only allowed to build up to eight floors in Hai Chau and Thanh Khe districts as authorities are considering a ban on high-rise buildings in those areas.
Projects without 1/500 scale plans must follow the city master planning to 2030 with a view to 2050, in which high-rise buildings will be limited in existing residential areas, along streets that are smaller than 20 metres wide and on plots of land that are smaller than 1,200 square metres.
For investors with large plots of land, the city will review each case and issue decision based on the infrastructure and how the land will be used.
Many buildings have been found to have violated planning regulations in Danang. The inspectorate discovered that Bach Dang Complex Company built a hotel complex without permission. Bach Dang Complex Company was fined VND110m and instructed to remove the building in 60 days or face forced removal.
Meanwhile, Minh Thuy Company, investor of the Eden Hotel in Ngu Hanh Son District, illegally increased the number of rooms from 96 to 225. They were also told to remove the illegal section.
Song Viet was given permits to build 19 villas, covering 5,008 square metres in total. In reality, they built 20 villas that covered 6,975 square metres. They were also building 18 villas without licenses. Some villas were located in different places than planned or were bigger than registered. There are also seven unlicensed bungalows and a 17-metres embankment that encroached on the water.
Song Viet continued the construction despite the ban and was fined VND100m (USD4,400). The investor of The Song resort project also had to remove the illegal constructions and was made to seek permits for the rest.
Danang People's Committee has applied various measures to prevent similar cases and issued a decision which states that the chairmen of wards, communes and districts must take full responsibility.
