new building laws

[Ruza T]

I'm a little confused about the new building laws. How far from the sea do you have to be to build etc.?

Can anyone give me some details? Have this law actually gone through?

Here is an article (in croatian) about the new law proposal:

As long as I know the proposal hasn't been accepted yet.
This is why many people are currently building and renovating quickly.. to avoid the problems after the new law has passed.
There is a problem because the new holday season has started and it is not allowed by Croatian law to do building work during the season.
There have been rumors that the new law will not allow any changes to the buildings as far as 100m from the sea and will now allow any building in these areas.
Also in areas 1500m from the sea there are going to be strict controls on what will be allowed.
