The building at Vítězné náměstí received a positive EIA assessment

Prague - The proposal for the multifunctional building Line, which is set to rise on Vítězné náměstí in Prague, has received a positive assessment in the EIA process (evaluation of the building's impact on the environment). CTK learned this from the city hall's website. PPF Real Estate can therefore apply for the issuance of a zoning decision and subsequently a building permit. Construction is planned to start next year, with completion expected in 2015. There are heated discussions surrounding this controversial project.
     The positive opinion regarding the project's construction was issued by the Department of Environment of the Prague City Hall. According to the assessment, the project met the conditions for environmental protection. There were no objections from heritage protectors, hygienists, or the coalition in Prague 6.
     However, several civic associations have opposed it. Recently, an extraordinary council meeting in Prague 6 was held regarding this issue. "Officials did not take into account traffic load, air pollution, and the project also does not comply with local regulations," translated the dissenting opinion of Prague 6 councilor Antonín Nechvátal (SZ). However, the investor rejects this. According to him, the building will enhance the area.
     According to the materials, the investor is also required to prepare an acoustic study, use modern construction machinery with lower noise levels, and repair the adjacent roads and sidewalks after the work is completed.
     On the lucrative plot of land owned by Prague 6, an eight-story administrative building with a floor area exceeding 17,700 square meters will be built. The building will include underground garages for 175 vehicles, as stated in the EIA assessment.
