[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeong Inhwa, a member of the National Assembly (Gwangyang·Gokseong·Gurye, Independent), announced on the 19th that he visited the Gwangyang Bay Area Free Economic Zone Authority (Commissioner Kim Gapseop) to convey residents' concerns about various issues that may arise if a 49-story officetel is built in the Shindae Residential District in Haeryong-myeon, Suncheon City.


Jeollanam-do Province, in 2008, through the "Gwangyang Bay Area Free Economic Zone Shindae Back-up Complex Development Project Plan Change," relocated public facilities and expanded commercial land, designating the area as a large-scale discount store recommended site.


However, currently, a certain construction company has applied for a traffic impact assessment for the purpose of constructing a 49-story officetel.


Assemblyman Jeong expressed concern, saying, "If a 49-story officetel is built on the commercial land, population density will increase, causing traffic congestion and parking chaos," and added, "Deterioration of residential conditions such as infringement on sunlight rights and scenic views of Shindae District residents is also expected."


In response, Commissioner Kim Gapseop stated, "We will fully consider residents' concerns during the permit decision process."



Assemblyman Jeong Inhwa emphasized, "I worked as the Head of the Administrative Development Headquarters at the Gwangyang Bay Area Free Economic Zone Authority in 2012 and devoted efforts to developing the Shindae Back-up Complex," and added, "I will do my best to ensure that a large discount store enters the E1 commercial land in Shindae District and that it is developed in a way most suitable for the welfare of Shindae residents."
