Limassol Town Planning races to process thousands of pending applications
The Limassol District Town Planning Department is dealing with a backlog of roughly 3,500 applications as the deadline for transferring planning authority to the Limassol District Self-Government Organisation approaches. The surge in applications is driven by public anxiety and the desire to secure approvals before the transition. Despite the increased workload, the department is prioritizing clearing existing applications and preparing for the transition on June 10. An additional 1,000 applications are pending with the Limassol Municipality, which is also experiencing a similar surge.
