one from significant changes to the amendment is the order and modification by the legislator of a catalogue of cases which may be conducted in favour of a notification without obtaining a decision on a construction permit, or may be conducted without obtaining a decision on a construction permit and without a notification.
On 19 September 2020 will enter into force a significant part of the amendments to the building law implemented by the Act of 13 February 2020 amending the Act – Construction Law and some other laws. In the justification for the project, the government pointed out that the need for changes to the construction law was due to the need to simplify and accelerate the investment and construction process and to ensure greater stability of its decisions.
Terrace (for notification) for each
Everyone whose dream is to have a large terrace with a larger area than 35 m2, and who, before the dream was fulfilled, was deterred by the formalities of construction law, will be able to build a home terrace without a permit for construction and without notification.
For those who plan to build a single-family house, it will certainly be important to inform that the construction of free-standing single-family dwellings, whose area of impact is entirely on the plots or parcels on which they are designed, will only require notification.
Lovers of water, including rivers and lakes, may be glad to see that bridges of total length up to 25 m and height, calculated from the crown of the bridge to the bottom of the water, to 2.5 m, regardless of the nature of their destination. So far, such a bridge could only be built for reporting when it was used to moor small vessels, fishing or recreation.
On the other hand, for all those who have in mind the care of the ecosystem or the handling of the cesspool has become an unbearable nuisance to them, the legislature has also prepared a change. Without the construction permit and only on the basis of the notification to the authorities, it will be possible to build all sewage treatment plants with a capacity up to 7.5 m3, not just the home ones.
Small architecture released
Objects that do not require either a permit for construction or a registration include small architecture, except small architecture facilities in public places.
Nor does it require a decision to permit construction and to declare the construction of economic facilities related to agricultural production and supplementing homestead construction within the existing habitat plot. This applies to ground-floor buildings with a construction area up to 35 m2, with a structural span of not more than 4.8 m and container drying facilities with a floor area up to 21 m2.
The construction and notification permit is also exempt from the obligation to build fences of a height not exceeding 2.2 m. It's great news for those who get jealous of their privacy or get on a warpath with their neighbors.
