Sofia city hall discussed the possibility to allocate a one ha municipal plot in Zona B-5 neighbourhood for the construction of a new building for the Sofia City Court and Sofia’s prosecutor’s office, investor.bg reported on April 2 2008.
It was announced at the session of the commission on spatial planning with the municipal council. Sofia chief architect Petar Dikov told the commission that the plot will be secured from the 10.2ha park area in Zona B-5, Bulgarian news agency (BTA) reported, as quoted by investor.bg.
The 10.2 ha park space includes a three ha government plot, managed by Bulgarian State Railways (BDZ).
Construction of a building for the court and the prosecutor’s office in this area would not breach the municipal council’s decision for developing the park area from two years ago, Dikov said. The mineral spring on the government plot in this area is favourable for building a spa centre, as well, the chief architect added.
Talks are going on about securing a plot for new building for the Sofia prison, Dikov told journalists. The Justice Ministry and the architecture and urban planning directorate of the city hall have already exchanged letters, suggesting three plots in Sofia’s northern neighbourhoods, he said.
