Three small roads, or sois, in two districts were examined by the Thailand Consumer Council( TCC ), and it was discovered that condominium projects that were soon to be built in each district might be illegal.
Saree Aongsomwang, the TCC secretary general, arranged for journalists to meet with societies last Wednesday that were most likely to be affected by the jobs.
The results are related to the S projects in the Chatuchak district’s Pradiphat Soi 23 ( 219 ), Ratchadaphisek SOi 44 ( 535 ), and Muve project( 230 units ), all of which are situated in Phaya Thai district.
All three sois, according to Ms. Saree, are less than six meters wide.
According to BMA laws, large structures no larger than 9,999m2 must be constructed along roads that are at least six meters wide.
The National Environment Impact Assessment ( EIA ) committee of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment will receive the information that the TCC collects from locals and submits to the BMA.
She stated that because some locals oppose the projects’ progress, TCC may request that City Hall withdraw the three building permits by next week.
Surat Tirakul, director of building control for the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration( BMA ), who also participated in the inspection, stated that he will solicit information and comments from the three nearby communities.
Additionally, the BMA is thinking about amending construction-related rules to prioritize the advantages of local residents.
