Regarding land acquisition in Quan Bau ward to build BMC - Vinh - Plaza complex

(Baonghean) - In order to build a more modern and spacious city, Vinh City has recently reclaimed land to carry out a number of urban beautification projects, including the Project to Build a Trade Center, Office for Lease and Luxury Apartments BMC - Vinh - Plaza in Quan Bau Ward; this process has encountered some difficulties regarding changes in the Land Law.

Problems

The project to build the BMC - Vinh - Plaza Trade Center, Office for Lease and Luxury Apartments in Quan Bau Ward (Vinh City) invested by BMC Construction Materials and Commercial Construction Company Limited has been approved by the Provincial People's Committee for detailed construction planning in Decision No. 5436/QD.UBND-XD dated December 13, 2007 and adjusted the planning in Decisions No. 575/QD.UBND-XD dated February 6, 2013 and No. 5253/QD.UBND-XD dated November 6, 2013.

The current status includes agricultural land, traffic, irrigation managed by the People's Committee of Quan Bau ward and a part of land used by Mr. Le Van Hong's household (transferred from Le Loi ward trading cooperative in 1991, at a price of 26 million VND).

Vinh City area is reclaimed to implement the BMC - Vinh - Plaza Trade Center, Office for Lease and Luxury Apartments Project.

Although this project was approved in late 2007 and implemented in 2010, due to many difficulties and problems in the site clearance process (including problems related to the land used by Mr. Le Van Hong), the project has not been implemented according to the planned schedule.

Pursuant to Decision No. 66/2010/QD-UBND dated August 26, 2010 of the People's Committee of Nghe An province regulating land recovery, land allocation, land lease, land use purpose conversion and issuance of land use right certificates for domestic organizations, Vietnamese people residing abroad, foreign organizations and individuals implementing investment projects in Nghe An province, the Project of Construction of Trade Center, Office for lease and Luxury Apartment BMC - Vinh - Plaza belongs to the project of land recovery by the State for the following reasons:

- Belonging to housing construction projects for sale or rent according to the provisions of the law on housing and the law on real estate business, commercial center construction projects.

- This project has been shown in the detailed urban construction planning of Quan Bau ward approved by the People's Committee of Nghe An province in Decision No. 5503/QD.UBND-CN dated December 31, 2007.

Accordingly, on July 22, 2010, the People's Committee of Nghe An province issued Decision No. 224/QD-UBND.DC to reclaim land (phase 1) with an area of ​​10,239.8m2 under the authority of the Provincial People's Committee (reclaimed according to the provisions of the 2003 Land Law).

Regarding the remaining land area used by Mr. Le Van Hong, although there are complete land recovery documents according to the provisions of Article 13, Decision No. 66.2010/QD.UBND dated August 26, 2010 of the People's Committee of Nghe An province, but because Mr. Le Van Hong is petitioning to determine the land type (residential land or non-agricultural land not residential land) for the area he uses that is affected by the project.

During the process of reviewing the petition of Mr. Le Van Hong, the Provincial People's Committee and Vinh City People's Committee found that there were still many problems in determining the land type, so they have not yet issued a decision to reclaim the land, but are seeking guidance from the General Department of Land Management. While waiting for guidance, the 2013 Land Law will take effect from July 1, 2014.

After the General Department of Land Administration - Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment commented in Document No. 1416/TCQLDD, dated October 20, 2014, Vinh City People's Committee issued Decision No. 1821/QD-UBND dated April 7, 2015 on recovering the land used by Mr. Le Van Hong's household (with an area of ​​998.2 square meters) and at the same time approved the compensation plan in Decision No. 1822/QD-UBND dated April 7, 2015.

However, Mr. Le Van Hong filed a complaint with the People's Committee of Vinh City and sued the People's Committee of Vinh City at the People's Court of Vinh City to request the cancellation of part of Decision 1821 and 1822.

On June 28 and 29, 2016, Vinh City People's Court tried and issued judgment No. 2/2016 requesting to partially cancel Decisions No. 1821 and 1822, because "the land recovery has not been approved by the People's Council of Nghe An province", so "the land recovery procedure has not been carried out in accordance with the land recovery procedure as prescribed in Article 69, Land Law 2013".

When the verdict came into effect, on September 19, 2016, Vinh City People's Committee issued Decision No. 6379/QD-UBND on the cancellation of Decisions 1821 and 1822, with the reason of "implementing Judgment No. 2/2016 of Vinh City People's Court" and "Assigning the City Land Fund Development Center to coordinate with relevant departments and units to re-establish the compensation plan, support site clearance for Mr. Le Van Hong's household to implement the Project of Construction of Trade Center, Office for lease and BMC - Vinh - Plaza Luxury Apartments in Quan Bau Ward; submit to the City People's Committee for approval in accordance with legal procedures".
