The law, consisting of 21 articles, will be discussed in the urban planning commission starting in September and is expected to reach its final stage by autumn.

Urban simplification: an overview
The bill approved by the Lazio regional council covers a wide range of aspects related to territorial planning. From the recovery of existing buildings to social housing, through the regulation of agriculture and the amnesty of attics, up to the revision of the landscape and territorial plan.

As explained by Councilor Pasquale Ciacciarelli, the initiative is part of an organic and complex reform with the aim of updating the urban planning of the Lazio region, making it more modern and aligned with the current needs of the territory.

Key points: attics, landscape plan and agricultural land
Among the main innovations of the proposed law, three key points stand out that will have a significant impact on regional urban planning. First, the amendment to regional law 38/1999 provides that the Urban Planning Implementation Plan (PUA) can also be presented for interventions already carried outoffering greater flexibility to projects already underway.
Secondly, the amendment of regional law 13/2009 moves the deadline for the recovery of attic spaces for residential purposesharmonizing it with the new state law.
Finally, the amendment of the regional law 24/1998 on landscape protection reduces the time for the revision of the Regional Landscape Territorial Plan (PTPR) to three years, with the aim of reopening the dialogue with the Ministry of Culture (MIC) to update and adapt the plan to current needs.
