The court has definitively overturned the unlawful detailed plan for the Minsky neighborhood in Kyiv
The Detailed Land Use Plan (DLUP) for the Minsky housing estate in Kyiv’s Obolon District has been definitively revoked after nearly five years of litigation.
The decision of the Kyiv District Administrative Court dated May 6, 2025, in case No. 640/25171/21 has been upheld following unsuccessful attempts by the developer and other interested parties to challenge it in the appellate and cassation courts.
Thus, Kyiv City Council Decision No. 1455/1496 of June 10, 2021, approving the detailed urban plan within the boundaries of Yuri Kondratyuk Street, Mykhailo Mayorov (Petro Kalnyshevsky) Street, the northern and western boundaries of the forest in Kyiv’s Obolon District, has been deemed unlawful and revoked.
As noted, the repealed DPT contradicted Kyiv’s current General Plan.
The plan provided for residential development in areas designated for other purposes, which, according to the plaintiffs, was implemented without amending the General Plan and without properly taking the community’s position into account.
The case was heard for nearly five years. The final decision was the result of a multi-level judicial process involving various parties, including the Kyiv City Council, relevant departments of the Kyiv City State Administration, the project investor, and the land user.
The party that initiated the lawsuit stated that the case served as an example of the successful protection of public interests in the field of urban planning.
It is also noted that the court’s decision reaffirmed the need to comply with the General Plan and legal procedures when making urban planning decisions.
The final annulment of the Minsky District Detailed Plan marked the conclusion of a protracted legal dispute and set an important precedent in Kyiv’s urban planning practice.
This was reported by human rights activist Oleksandr Kucheryavskyi.
As a reminder, the owner of the Lukyanivsky Market in Kyiv, which was damaged during a Russian attack in May, has not yet made a decision regarding its full-scale reconstruction.
Restoring the National Cultural, Art, and Museum Complex “Mystetskyi Arsenal,” which was damaged as a result of the Russian attack, will require at least tens of millions of hryvnias.
