The service provides electronic procedures through the ΙΠΠΟΔΑΜΟΣ Information System for cultural heritage matters and planning permission for listed parcels. An authenticated login to the Government Secure Internet Gateway - CY Login is required for applications described in these two sections.
The cultural-heritage services are: ΠΚ 001 (designation of a building as listed), ΠΚ 002 (Minister of the Interior’s consent for works on a listed building), ΠΒΣ1 (Planning Authority certificate and consent), ΠΚ 036 (grant for the cost of intermediate maintenance of a listed building’s shell), ΠΚ 037 (grant for the cost of full maintenance), ΠΚ 038 (grant for the cost of urgent interventions), ΠΚ 049 (transfer of development rights) and ΠΚ 074 (issuance of certificates by the Minister of the Interior). As a rule, applications are submitted by the competent designer, who must be an ΕΤΕΚ member with a valid professional practice licence. The exceptions are ΠΚ 001 and ΠΚ 074, which may be submitted by the owner or the owner’s representative, whether a natural or legal person. For ΠΚ 049, the authorised designer of either the transferor or the transferee may submit the application.
For ΠΚ 002, the fee for simple maintenance works (type β) is €50. The fee for horizontal separation of a listed building (type γ) is calculated according to the application and the characteristics of the proposed development, using the “Planning Permission Fee Calculator” tool. The other services listed in the cultural-heritage section are provided without fees.
Planning-permission services for a listed parcel include: EA15 (new planning permission; approval of matters, exemption from or amendment of conditions of an existing permission; and approval of amended plans), EA2 (the corresponding applications for land division into plots or road construction), EA7 (copy of the planning application register or certified copy of the decision and approved plans), EA8 (preliminary enquiry under Article 25 of the Town and Country Planning Laws), EΑ11 (extension of the validity of a planning permission) and ΕΔ1 (obtaining a number for consultations with departments, services or authorities). As a rule, the application is submitted by the competent designer, an ΕΤΕΚ member with a valid professional practice licence. EA7, EA8 and EA11 may instead be submitted by the owner or the owner’s representative, whether a natural or legal person. Fees are set by the Town and Country Planning (Fees) Regulations of 2013 and 2015 and calculated according to the application and the characteristics of the proposed development, using the same calculator.
The specialised electronic services ΠΚ 001Α (building assessment) and ΠΚ 200 (registration of a building sample in the database of historic-building typologies) concern specific organisations or designers assigned work by the Conservation Branch of the Department of Town Planning and Housing. A request to release part of an approved grant for works on a listed building, under the Listed Buildings Law, is submitted by the owner through the supervising designer to the Cultural Heritage Conservation Branch of the Department of Town Planning and Housing.
