The Paphos District Local Government Organisation (PDLGO) is taking steps to legally halt the construction of a tourist apartment complex in Latchi. This action comes as the authority awaits an environmental assessment from the Department of Environment regarding the proposed development. PDLGO Chairman Charalambos Pittokopitis expressed concerns over the potential environmental impact of the project, emphasizing the necessity of a thorough review before any further construction can proceed.
The decision to seek a court order reflects the local government's commitment to safeguarding the region's natural resources and ensuring that any development aligns with environmental regulations. Pittokopitis highlighted the importance of protecting Latchi's unique landscape and the potential implications of the construction on local ecosystems.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the PDLGO aims to prioritize community interests and environmental sustainability, setting a precedent for future developments in the area. The outcome of this case could have significant ramifications for tourism and development policies in Paphos.
