Land-Use Designation Scheme
Land-use designation is one of the safeguards against uncontrolled development. If a developer intends to build a high-rise instead of a green zone, a change in the land-use designation must be approved by a local council.
MP from the “Servant of the People” faction Stepan Cherniavskyi submitted draft law No. 11185, which proposes allowing changes to land-use designation in cases where urban planning documentation has not been entered into the State Land Cadastre. This applies to almost all land plots across the country.
Under the proposed model, developers could negotiate directly with the chief architect to change the land-use designation to a preferred category.
Such an approach is likely to facilitate abuse in land use regulation and significantly increase corruption risks. In addition, the draft law expands opportunities for large agricultural businesses (“agro-barons”), enabling them to gain access to highly valuable land.
Analysis of the draft law was prepared by the civic initiative Holka.
