Inspectors have determined that a specific country house terrace constitutes a legal violation because a portion of the structure encroaches upon a designated coastal protection zone. While the physical parameters of the terrace classify it as a Group I simple structure—a category typically exempt from mandatory building permits—local regulations stipulate that all construction must adhere to the specific legal requirements governing that territory. According to Viktoria Shinkuniene, a representative from VTPSI, adherence to these localized codes remains mandatory regardless of the structure’s classification.
Consequently, the inspection has issued an order mandating the compulsory removal of the segment of the terrace that falls within the protected coastal area. In separate news regarding property inspections, VTEK confirmed that it will not initiate an investigation concerning the Pinsk family’s residence in Palanga, as preliminary checks revealed no evidence of regulatory violations at that location. These differing outcomes highlight the varying compliance statuses of properties under current jurisdictional guidelines.
The findings underscore the need for structures, even those considered minor additions like a terrace, to comply fully with both general building codes and specific environmental protection requirements.
