[단독]Byeon Chang-heum Seoul Station Pokbangchon Public Development… “Is it the Communist Party” backlash

“The Communist Party does not have such a Communist Party either. The government takes away the well-located land by dazzling the residents with the candies of public development.”

Land and building owners in the region said, “I oppose the decision,” regarding the “promotion plan for the Seoul Station sidebang village maintenance project” announced by the government on the 5th. ‘Seoul Station Sidebangchon’ is to develop the area of ​​Dongja-dong (47,000m2) in Yongsan-gu from Seoul Station in the direction of Namsan, and was designated as the Huam Special Plan Zone 1 (Huam Special Zone 1).

On the 5th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the Seoul Metropolitan Government announced a plan to promote the’Public Housing and Urban Regeneration Project for Improving the Residential Environment in Seoul Station’. The day before, the second and fourth measures to supply 836,000 households nationwide through public-led maintenance projects, etc., came out, so they were interested.

Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byeon Chang-heum attended the presentation ceremony for the promotion plan of the’Seoul Station Sidebang Village’ and emphasized that “It is proceeding similarly to the public housing complex project announced on the 4th, and it is proceeding as a leading project.”

It is said that Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) and Seoul Housing and Urban Corporation (SH) will serve as joint project operators to supply 2410 houses (1450 public housing units, 960 units sold in private). According to the Seoul city plan, 17 buildings will be built with up to 40 floors. The government announced, “We plan to complete the designation of districts this year through the process of collecting residents’ opinions,” and introduced the schedule of starting construction of public housing complexes in 2023 and ending the development of private land for sale in 2030.

However, land and building owners in the region are complaining, saying, “It is a one-sided content that has not been consulted or gathered opinions with the residents, and the government announced it by surprise without any prior consent.”

Oh Jeong-ja, chairman of the Huam Special District 1 Preparatory Promotion Committee, said, “As the previous district-level urban planning period expired on May 27, we were calmly waiting for the results of the service from Seoul and Yongsan-gu offices, which were to be announced at the end of this year.” In the meantime, I came across a media report saying that a local maintenance project was being promoted. There was a talk from the Yongsan-gu Office official that there would be good news sooner or later, but I had no idea that it would be announced in this way.”

Minister Byeon said on the day, “This project was conceived prior to the announcement of (2 and 4 measures), and is currently designated as a small-scale development project under the Special Public Housing Act.” “I made it so that public institutions can designate it.”

In this regard, Chairman Oh argued, “For other redevelopment and reconstruction, the remaining money is liquidated only when the specified consent rate is met according to the choice of the owner of the land building. In the case of our neighborhood, the private property of individuals will be forcibly accepted on a large scale.” He added, “The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has announced that it will’party compensation’ to local land and building owners through a press release, but’party compensation’ means that it will deprive the land and building owners of private property rights after cash settlement according to the publicly announced land price.” .

As a result of the Huam Special District 1 (Dongja) Preparation Promotion Committee confirming with Yongsan-gu Office and LH, the Special Public Housing Act proceeds without resident consent. Until February 4, 2020, only the owners owned and lived in public will be given the right to sell in public.If you buy a house in another area by 2026, you cannot move in. An official from Yongsan-gu Office said, “This project was planned by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and we learned later.”

The promotion committee expressed the position that “Dongja-dong’s land and building owners can never accept the deprivation of private property rights in a democratic country in the name of public interest, and completely excluding the land building owner as a developer from the decision of the development act.” .

The promotion committee said, “Dongja-dong was also tied to the Huam Special Zone 1, which was tied up as a development restriction zone for several decades and became an underdeveloped area, and the land building owners were often relocated to other regions.” “Without considering this reality, the land owner was treated as a simple speculator. “We will use all measures to protect our private property, including legal response.”

One owner raised his voice, saying, “We are the victims of measures to expand supply to the public for promotion, which has emerged as a result of the government’s failure in real estate policy,” and said, “I doubt whether this country is really a capitalist country.” Another owner exclaimed, “The Communist Party does not have such a Communist Party.” Another resident said, “In the case of the Yeongdeungpo Station sidebangchon maintenance project, we know that 90% of the residents were expelled,” and said, “There is a great concern that the area around Seoul Station is taking the same train.” In the case of the rearrangement project at Yeongdeungpo Station in Seoul, which was announced by Minister Byeon Chang-heum in January of last year, which is the incumbent facility of LH president, it has been more than a year since the announcement of the plan, but has not yet prepared a compensation plan for the tenant migration complex.

Yeongdeungpo Station Jeokbangchon Maintenance Project is a project to supply 370 permanent rental housing units, 220 happy housing units, and 600 units for sale by developing a residential complex with a height of up to 40 stories by public corporations such as LH and SH in the area around 10,000 square meters near Yeongdeungpo Station. All. Although it was announced that the move-in period is in 2023, it is unlikely to be realized as of now.
