The legislative body of a country. Parliament: A significant group of individuals who come together to create and pass laws on behalf of a population. - Is a new law regarding building regulations being considered by the state parliament?
A proposed update to the building regulations suggests simplifying the process of installing solar panels on the roofs of semi-detached and row houses, which involves reducing the required distance to firewalls. Additionally, noisy heat pumps are now allowed to be built at property lines. The use of attics for residential purposes will no longer require approval. The Chamber of Architects has not made significant changes to these proposals.
However, the passing of this law is not certain, as the CDU has expressed skepticism so far, and the FDP faction has recently requested a consultation.
