Vinh Phuc faces difficulties in providing land for projects

Scarcity of land for filling

The price of land (common construction material) used for leveling ground in Vinh Phuc province is currently very scarce. This situation has been happening for many years, affecting the progress of many construction projects. Reports from relevant units also identified that this issue is one of the reasons for the slow progress of projects.

Through investigation, reporters of Kinh te va Do thi Newspaper learned that the reason for the above situation is that most of the construction material mineral mines in Vinh Phuc province have stopped operating, no new licenses have been issued, and exploitation licenses have not been extended.

The price of land for leveling the ground is about 160,000 VND/cubic meter transported to the foot of the construction site, which is considered a very high price (compared to last year, it has increased by 30,000 VND/cubic meter). Because the price has increased sharply, the supply is still extremely scarce, causing many important projects to stagnate, and some projects have even been forced to temporarily stop construction due to lack of land.

In particular, identifying the removal of difficulties in the issue of scarcity of construction materials is a task that needs to be resolved soon.

Specifically, in Document No. 06/CTr-UBND dated October 10, the People's Committee of Vinh Phuc province assigned the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to urgently complete and submit to the Prime Minister for approval the task of demarcating areas where sand and gravel mining activities on riverbeds are prohibited or temporarily prohibited in the province.

After research, the Department of Construction of Vinh Phuc province believes that, in order to have enough basis for the Provincial People's Committee to approve, it is recommended that the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Vinh Phuc province supplement information on the locations of mines, ensuring the following criteria: no overlap with tourism development areas; no overlap with national defense and security planning; no overlap with prohibited mining areas and historical, religious, belief and religious relics; no impact on safety corridors of technical infrastructure works (roads, power lines, dams, ...), social infrastructure (if any).

Minimize impact on residential areas and minimize disruption to rural infrastructure; facilitate transportation and exploitation; facilitate compensation and site clearance...

Commenting on specific mine locations in the Draft Plan, the Department of Construction of Vinh Phuc province said that there are 7 locations in Song Lo district and 1 location in Lap Thach district that are consistent with the list of locations approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Document No. 7664/UBND-CN3 dated September 22, 2023.

With 4 locations in Tam Dao district, it is recommended that the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Vinh Phuc province review and supplement information on location and area to ensure that it is consistent with the areas approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Official Dispatch No. 7664/UBND-CN3 dated September 22, 2023.
