A statement of findings has been drawn up for the removal of an illegal construction in the area of Sveti Vlas and Elenite. This was announced by the National Construction Control Directorate (DNCS) through an official statement on its website.
It concerns an object representing "Correction of the route (the riverbed) of the Kozluka River and earth embankments", located in the land of the Elenite holiday village.
The announcement of the statement of findings was immediately posted at the site where the construction process was taking place. This act marks the beginning of a procedure that may lead to the removal of the illegally built facility.
The actions were taken on the basis of Art. 225 of the Spatial Planning Act, which signals detected illegal construction. This legal basis provides the framework for further measures.
The decision to take these actions comes against the backdrop of tragic events that shook the area. On October 3, heavy rains caused enormous damage in the holiday village. The elements took the lives of four people - three men and one woman. After this tragedy, the institutions started checks for irregularities related to construction in the affected area.
Meanwhile, on October 22, owners of damaged properties in the resort initiated a petition expressing protest against the possible demolition of buildings in Elenite. This shows growing tension and conflicting interests in the community.
In the context of these events, it is also important to note the statement of the Minister of Environment and Water, Manol Genov, made on October 8. He presented the results of the inspections carried out on the terrains affected by the floods on the Southern Black Sea coast. According to him, for a period of 15 years and despite numerous files submitted for objects in the Kozluka area, there is no data for any object that has passed through an impact assessment procedure or a lower level of environmental assessment. This information sheds light on potential problems in regulatory control and planning in the area.
