Egyptian Housing Minister Randa Al-Manshawe has issued decisions to remove several construction violations in New Cairo and the North Western Coast. The move is part of the ministry's efforts to tackle construction violations and enforce compliance with building regulations and licenses. The decisions target various areas in New Cairo, including the Fifth Settlement and the North Western Coast.
In New Cairo, the minister ordered the removal of construction violations on a plot of land in the Nargis area of the Fifth Settlement. The violations included the construction of buildings in the basement, cancellation of the ramp, creation of a private entrance, and exceeding the allowed building ratio. These actions were carried out without legal justification and in contravention of the construction license.
The minister's decisions also targeted a plot of land in the Zahrat Al-Lotus area of the Fifth Settlement. The violations on this plot included converting part of the basement into residential space, again without legal justification and in contravention of the construction license. Furthermore, the minister ordered the removal of construction violations on another plot in the Fifth Settlement's family investor area.
The violations on the family investor plot included closing rooms in the basement and making architectural modifications to the units without legal justification and in contravention of the construction license. Additionally, the minister's decisions included the removal of violations on another plot in the same area, which involved making architectural modifications and constructing walls and partitions in the basement without legal justification.
The minister's decisions also covered the removal of construction violations on yet another plot in the family investor area of the Fifth Settlement. These violations involved making architectural modifications in the basement without legal justification and in contravention of the construction license. Moreover, the decisions included the removal of encroachments and construction violations affiliated with the North Western Coast development agency.
A total of five spatial variables were identified as part of the violations in the North Western Coast area. These included unauthorized construction works, comprising buildings and construction activities that contravened regulations. The minister emphasized that new city authorities will continue to monitor construction violations and take action against them in accordance with the law.
The goal of these measures is to maintain the urban fabric and approved plans, while ensuring compliance with building regulations and licenses. Minister Al-Manshawe's decisions reflect the government's commitment to enforcing the law and maintaining order in the construction sector.
