Quan Bau Ward (Vinh City) requested to check for signs of violations at the adjacent housing - villa project.

People "accused"

In mid-March 2025, Nghe An Newspaper hotline was opened by citizens of the ward.Bau RestaurantInformation, on the land of the housing - villa project located next to Namjangju Dasan road, there is construction activity with signs of violating the law.

The citizen said: “According to the planning, this land is to be used for a housing project. However, there is currently construction activity on it that resembles a factory. Therefore, we think there is illegal construction and improper land use. We request Nghe An Newspaper to pay attention…”.

Based on the citizen's information, we went to Namjangju Dasan Street, Quan Bau Ward, and found an empty plot of land several hectares wide, surrounded by an old wall. On this plot of land is a very large steel-framed house, surrounded by a system of billboards. Verification by Nghe An Newspaper reporters on March 29, 2025 showed that there are construction activities inside the house and outside the wall surrounding the plot of land.

According to the investigation, this land belongs to Block 5, Quan Bau Ward; Nghe An Forestry Joint Stock Company is the unit assigned by the State to manage and use. In April 2018, Nghe An Forestry Joint Stock Company was approved by the Provincial People's Committee for investment policy, changing the purpose of using the land to implement the Lam Giang Residential - Townhouse Project (Decision No. 3210/QD-UBND dated April 26, 2018). The goal of the project is to "Promote the potential and effectively exploit the existing land fund, contributing to the renovation of a civilized and modern urban area; meet the housing needs of Quan Bau Ward residents in particular, Vinh City and Nghe An Province in general; create jobs for workers, create income for businesses and pay to the state budget".

At the same time, in Decision No. 3210/QD-UBND, the Provincial People's Committee requires Nghe An Forestry Products Joint Stock Company, as the investor, to establish a detailed plan at a scale of 1/500 in accordance with the functional zoning of the zoning plan, and organize the technical infrastructure system to ensure reasonable connection with the infrastructure system of the area. "Require the design and construction of works and houses to ensure modern and synchronous landscape architecture before transferring to secondary investors according to the provisions of law on real estate business (not allowed to divide plots for sale)" - the Provincial People's Committee emphasized in Decision No. 3210/QD-UBND.

On November 6, 2018, by Decision No. 4931/QD-UBND, the Provincial People's Committee approved the detailed construction planning at a scale of 1/500 of Lam Giang Residential - Townhouse Area in Quan Bau Ward, Vinh City.

According to this decision, the project has a total area of ​​up to 21,405.22m2, divided into 2 areas (area No. 1 has an area of ​​18,096.60m2; area No. 2 has an area of ​​3,308.62m2); the North borders Namjangju Dasan Street, 18m wide, and a residential area; the South borders the land of Food Joint Stock Company and Company 473; the East and West borders the residential area of ​​Block 5, Quan Bau Ward.

In terms of function, the Lam Giang Residential - Townhouse Project "is a residential area that has been invested in and built completely, ensuring the best living conditions for residents in the area"; in which, the land for housing construction is determined to include 100 lots, with an area of ​​13,131.86m2² (ratio 61.35%); traffic land area 7,147.05m² (ratio 33.39%); land for green trees and sports has an area of ​​707.03m² (rate 3.3%); land for construction of drainage ditch has an area of ​​419.28m² (rate 1.96%).

Thus, from initial verification, it can be concluded that the citizen of Quan Bau ward's reflection that "at the residential - villa project adjacent to Namjangju Dasan street, Quan Bau ward, there is a factory building with signs of violations" is well-founded.
