Although located in the planning area of Dong Hoi Industrial Park, many households in Dong Minh village, Quynh Lap commune (Hoang Mai town) still defy the law and illegally build houses.
In Dong Quan area, Dong Minh village, Quynh Lap commune (Hoang Mai town), recently appeared a series of illegally built house foundations. These house foundations were built on land for perennial crops and other annual crops, which have not been converted. In the photo, a house foundation seen from above.

According to the representative of the Dong Minh village executive committee, these house foundations were built a few years ago, even though at that time this land was included in the Dong Hoi Industrial Park planning (announced in 2010). However, because the planning had been in place for a long time but had not been implemented, while the population was growing, people were not allowed to expand, build houses, or even separate land titles for their children, so many households "risked" to build houses in the Dong Quan area, which they had previously purchased.

However, the local government later issued decisions to suspend construction, forcing households to restore the original state before the violation.

Since the beginning of 2024, the People's Committee of Hoang Mai town has issued 8 Decisions forcing the implementation of remedial measures. However, up to this point, households have not yet dismantled to restore the original state.
