The Council of State in Greece has deemed most provisions of the New Building Regulation unconstitutional, as announced by Chief Justice Michalis Pikrammenos. The ruling affects future building permits but will not be retroactive for permits already issued. The court criticized the regulation’s incentives for increased building density and height, highlighting the lack of consideration for local urban environments. While certain provisions were struck down, others related to architectural features remain constitutional. The decision underscores the balance between legal certainty and public interest in property development.
