Bomba cu ceas din noul Cod al urbanismului: autorizațiile pot expira în timp ce justiția încă decide dacă ai dreptul să construiești

A new provision in the urban planning code may significantly impact investments and housing markets by invalidating construction permits after 24 months of work suspension. The law does not clarify if this period is paused during legal disputes over permits, creating a paradox where ongoing litigation can lead to permit loss. This uncertainty can deter investors and complicate financing, ultimately reducing housing supply and increasing prices. The legal framework raises concerns about predictability and access to justice, as delays in court can result in losing the very rights being contested. The situation poses risks not only to developers but also to the broader economy, affecting various related industries.
