Housing Committee MP Says Building Violation Settlement Extension Aims to Accommodate All Applications

MP Mahmoud Taher, secretary of the House of Representatives’ Housing Committee, has stressed the importance of the Cabinet’s decision to extend the period for receiving applications to settle building violations.

Taher said the extension is intended to accommodate all applications, giving applicants more time to seek settlement of their building violations.

The decision concerns the window for submitting settlement requests, rather than an announcement on the outcome of individual applications.

Taher’s remarks focused on the importance of keeping the application process open to those seeking to regularise their properties. No details were provided on the length of the extension or the revised deadline.
