The State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate suspended construction on the site of the Sennoy market, People's Deputy Sergei Leshchenko.
"For non-Ukrainians I will explain - the environment of the former Prosecutor General Yarema wants to build a practically sleeping area - 14 houses, more than 800 apartments - in the historical center of Kiev, near Lvivska Square," Leshchenko wrote on his Facebook page.
According to him, now the construction process should be frozen until the violations of the requirements of the legislation are eliminated - first of all, the number of storeys and the size of the building.
"No one is in favor of having a dump and wasteland for another 20 years at the site of the Sennaya market. But the construction must correspond to common sense and the law - which provides for the reduction of the planned residential complex, "added the deputy who bought an apartment nearby.
The central covered market (Sennaya Market) was built in 1958 and demolished in 2006.
