Developers won!” – Waldemar Buda, PiS MP and former Minister of Development and Technology, commented on this situation on the X platform.
Minister Krzysztof Hetman agreed with the calls of local authorities on this issue and decided that this regulation will not enter into force on April 1, 2024. Kukucki announced this in the Sejm on Thursday, in response to questions from parliamentarians.
Currently, the ministry is analyzing what will be the optimal dates to implement these good regulations, but at the same time so that the local government environment is convinced that this is the optimal time.

It’s certainly a matter of no more than a few months
– added the Deputy Minister.
Buda: “The land of banks and developers!”
The ministry’s announcement to postpone the entry into force of regulations intended to counter the so-called pathodevaders commented on the X platform by Waldemar Buda, during whose reign these regulations were prepared at the ministry.
This really happens. Developers won! The regulation I issued last year with a six-month vacatio legis (effective date of April 1) to put an end to pat-down development, micro-studio apartments, prospectus fraud, securing parking spaces, playgrounds, distances between buildings, etc. has been suspended! The land of banks and developers!
– wrote on the X platform Waldemar Buda.
“Scandal is an understatement. Shame”
Jan Śpiewak, a city activist, also clearly commented on the whole situation.
Developers lobbied and lobbied. Package against pathodevelopment postponed. I’m curious to see if it will come into effect at all. Scandal is an understatement. Shame
– he emphasized Jan Spiewak.
Regulation of the Ministry of Energy and Technology
The Regulation of the Minister of Development and Technology of 27 October 2023 amending the regulation regarding the technical conditions that buildings must meet and their location assumes, among other things, that: increasing the distance from a multi-family home of 4 floors to the plot boundary up to 5 meters. Until now, this distance was at least 3 meters for walls without windows or doors and 4 meters for walls with windows or doors.
According to the ordinance, commercial premises in newly designed buildings must have a usable area of not less than 25 square meters. It is possible to build buildings with a smaller area, provided that the buildings are located on the first or second upper floor. ground floor of the building and there is direct access from the outside.
It was also assumed that there would be requirements for appropriate partitions between balconies. According to the new regulation, in a multi-family home, if there is more than one balcony on one balcony slab, a dividing wall with a height of at least 2.2 m and a width that corresponds to at least the width of the balcony must be used, and if the balcony has a width is equal to or greater than 2 m – at least 2 m. The partition wall must also be sufficiently translucent. It should be at least 30% and at most 50%, so such a darkened partition will give a feeling of isolation from the neighbors.
With regard to multi-family housing, the proposed regulations also introduce, among other things: obligation to build a utility room with an area of at least 15 m², for storing bicycles, for example.
