A company of Israeli interests intends to develop 60 residences, a camping area and a winery in the abandoned community of Trozena of Limassol. According to the source, relevant applications for planning permission have been submitted.
The case caused reactions after posts on social media stated that the community was sold to Israeli investors. According to information, the residences and the winery are located in the core of the village, while the camping area is planned outside the core.
Trozena is an abandoned community and in the past had a small population. According to the information of the source, the planning zone prevailing in the area is H1, that is residential.
Trozena is an abandoned community and in the past had a small population, while both the community and the wider area fall within the Natura 2000 network.
However, the investment has not been approved. The community and the wider area fall within the European ecological network Natura 2000 and the Department of Environment expressed reservations and requested additional information about the type and extent of the development, so that the possible environmental impacts can be evaluated.
The District Local Government Organisation of Limassol stated that it has not issued planning permission and awaits the completion of the evaluation. Although the applications have been submitted separately, the competent authorities will jointly take into account the entirety of the proposed buildings and uses.
The discussion continues, with different views regarding the development of the area and the utilisation of the abandoned community.
