Sleman prohibits undersized houses

SLEMAN, Yogyakarta: The Sleman regency administration has banned developers from building on less than 120 square meters of land, Sleman Regent Ibnu Subiyanto said on Monday.

"We will not give permits to build houses on plots of land that do not measure up to regulations. Every developer that wants to build residential houses in Sleman must meet regulations," Ibnu said.

He said building houses on small plots of land was a waste of space, and encouraged developers to consider building low-cost apartments instead.

The regency administration is currently developing two buildings of low-cost apartments.

"If developers want to develop low-cost apartments in Sleman, we will help them procure speedy services, including securing the necessary permits," Ibnu said. -- Antara
