Hello.
A year ago I asked the UE what I needed to set up a business premises - a workshop for food processing (there was already a workshop in this premises a few years ago, and there was a technical inspection, which found some irregularities in the premises which need to be corrected) - so the decision says. And that is what I was told at UE in November 2017. We completed the construction work in May this year, modernised the premises, corrected the deficiencies mentioned in the decision and purchased the machinery and apparatus needed to carry out the activity. In May, I submitted an application for a use permit to the UE. After three months, I was given an appointment for a meeting, during which it was established that, following the decision, without a building permit, we had made a rooftop marble roof when we were solving a housing problem. Now we have to draw up new building plans - the actual situation, pay a fine and pay a community contribution, which is perfectly understandable to me and we would still be able to sort it out. However, since we have a new building law, we now have to do the insulation and the façade, and we have to do the balcony railings, and since the building is an extension, we have to do the plans and we have to sort out the house next door, which we do not own, if we want to get a workshop permit.
I propose that you introduce a temporary occupancy permit so that we, the applicants, can start work and have a reasonable time limit for the removal or completion of the building. I suggest that UE staff be taught how to deal with such cases so that we do not invest money in premises that we then do not have to use, because we are being put in a very difficult position. If we had been given accurate information, we would have reversed the order or not started the work at all, given that the financial investment is almost doubled and I cannot do business with a fully equipped workshop.
