Tiraspol, 14 April. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. In the course of today's government meeting the Ministry of Justice informed cabinet members on the implementation of the government's decree No. 160 issued in June 2015 providing for the reduction of administrative barriers when obtaining approval documents for construction, reconstruction and replanning, as well as putting objects in operation, the government's press service reports.
The minister of justice, Olga Zvarych, noted that the legislation in this sphere was reviewed earlier. It has resulted in a number of legal acts facilitating the above procedures.
Thus, new building regulations (SNiP), worked out a year ago, have reduced the number of mandatory members in the acceptance board and facilitated the procedure of its formation. Earlier, the applicant had to file an individual request to every public authority and relevant organisation. Now — only to the state administration which determines the board's composition.
The list of documents necessary for submitting to the acceptance board has also been cut down: now it comprises only those that, according to the Union of Construction Industry Enterprises, influence the quality of facilities under construction. Olga Zvarych underscored that heads of state administrations need to take under special control the compliance of the infrastructure of new buildings with disabled persons' needs. A certificate confirming it is necessary when a facility is put into operation.
With regard to temporary structures and constructions, such as boutiques, bus stops, mini-markets, penthouses, garages, etc., which are not capital and which earlier had to be projected and commissioned on general terms, now there is the regulation facilitating this procedure. Besides, these structures should not be any longer registered with the State Registration and Notary Service.
The government's decree No. 160 issued last June has also settled the problem of the lack of a unified procedure of issuing approval documents for construction works. The decree provides for all construction and replanning stages, a comprehensive list of documents necessary to obtain this or that approval as well as stiff deadlines for considering them.
«Earlier the citizen had to agree the certificate of a choice of a land lot with all authorised bodies — fire service, sanitary authorities, energy supplying organisations, now this function lies with the state administration. The applicant submits a package of documents and within the established period of time receives the head's decision instead of running from pillar to post," explained the minister of justice.
The procedure of putting public and industrial premises into operation which have been replanned without affecting bearing structure has been also simplified. So has the procedure of replanning in block of flats. «The performance of a whole number of works, such as the arrangement and dismantling of niches, built-in closets, the joining and separation of a toilet and a bathroom, does not now require the development of project documentation and approval for such works. For many citizens this is considerable facilitation in terms of costs, time and finances," noted Olga Zvarych.
All state administrations have single-stop services which provide clarification on all issues and offer information about the list of documents necessary for obtaining an approval for the designing, construction and commission of complete objects. The agreement of certificates for putting in operation, extension of construction terms and other work relating to the issuance of approval documents is free of charge.
All the package of measures helps to reduce administrative barriers in the architectural construction, replanning and reconstruction, boost the entrepreneurial activities of citizens and organisations, as well as make the construction procedure transparent and simple.
The Ministry of Justice also presented a draft decree approving the regulations on simplified procedure for the construction, reconstruction, replanning and commission of countryside households. They apply to living one-flat houses and household constructions.
According to Olga Zvarych, now village and settlement residents face difficulties when filing approval documents for the above procedures. According to the new regulations construction, reconstruction and replanning works do not require an architectural project and approval for construction works. The exception is land lots with communication lines. Replanning does not require putting the redesigned object into operation either. If a countryside resident wants, for example, to redesign a room, he performs all works under his own responsibility.
The list of required documents is minimal: the authentication of the accommodation right for the land lot and the object to be reconstructed and a design drawn by a developer. This is required to prevent the violation of the rights and interests of neighbours.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the chief facilitation is that countryside residents will not have to request city and district authorities for documents — all decisions are made by heads of villages and settlements.
Pavel Prokudin proposed to back the draft decree. «Today many people do not start construction works even having enough money because they fear numerous authorities they have to visit and time it will take. When passing through our villages, I do not see large-scale construction works. It is necessary to facilitate the administration, eliminate unnecessary barriers," underscored the head of the government.
As a result, the decree was approved unanimously.
