Planning Controls and
Development Guidelines
- Planning permission is a relatively simple process controlled initially by the Chamber of Architects, District Planning Office and the related municipality where the land is located. All affected government and municipal offices, including utilities, review and have to approve the planning application and once the municipality has accepted the plans, work may commence. Upon completion of the project, the District Planning Office makes a final check, approves the project and issues a final approval certificate.
- The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus operates excellent environmental control by requiring that, outside the Municipal boundaries, only 20%, or sometimes less, of the land area can be built on and a height restriction of two stories is normal.
- In any development, 10% of the development must also be
designated as "green area", ensuring that neither high rise nor
over-crowded developments can spoil the countryside.

Construction
- Most buildings are constructed in the reinforced concrete
frame system that is prevalent in the Mediterranean
countries.
- Our North Cyprus properties are constructed to a very high
structural specification, which is a great benefit and comfort to
our buyers.
- Excellent finishing materials, such as marble, stone and
wood, are readily available from Turkey, Spain, Italy, Germany
and UK.
- Our construction teams are both experienced and reputable and
all our buildings carry a 5 or 10 year building guarantee.
