Milan: new guidelines on urban planning and construction

The City Board has approved new guidelines for the development of administrative activities in the field of urban planning and construction, in order to ensure the coordinated and uniform continuation of preliminary investigations for interventions, pending the future general amendment to the Town Planning Scheme (TPS).

In particular, the new guidelines establish the following:

  • Recourse to the Implementation Plan for interventions that involve exceeding 25 meters in height or a land density greater than 3 cubic meters per square meter, and in any case for projects involving the deviation from the morphological rules of the TPS. Should the land area exceed 20,000 square meters, an area equal to at least 50% of the same must be found;
  • the possibility of proceeding with the Agreed Building Permit if works comply with the morphological regulations of the Ancient settlements (Nuclei di antica formazione) or the compact urban fabric (Tessuti urbani compatti a cortina);
  • the possibility of intervening with direct building title in all other cases. However, if a change of use that is relevant from an urban planning perspective is proposed, the Administration must assess the most appropriate method for granting the necessary territorial resources and whether they should be obtained through transfer, easement of areas, or monetization;

Pending the publication of the resolution text, further details can be found in the press release issued by the Municipality of Milan.
