The plenary session of Greece’s Council of State has deemed provisions of the new building regulations unconstitutional, citing significant alterations in residential environments due to increased building heights. This ruling impacts hundreds of properties nationwide. Lawyer Andreas Papapetropoulos highlights the unprecedented speed of the judicial process, completing the decision in just two months. The new regulations aimed to allow higher buildings with environmental benefits, but a challenge from Alimos municipality brought the case to the Supreme Court, ultimately determining the regulations infringe on constitutional environmental protections.
