[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] The Bongcheon 2 Station Area in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, has been deregulated from the urban environment maintenance zone after 8 years since its designation.

On the 1st, Seoul City held the 11th Urban Planning Committee meeting and announced on the 2nd that the proposal to lift the designation of the area located at 923-1 Bongcheon-dong, Gwanak-gu, was approved as originally planned.

Bongcheon 2 Station Area was designated as a maintenance zone in 2013. However, since no application for project implementation approval was submitted for 5 years, the sunset deadline was extended by 2 years in 2018. Still, as no application was submitted by the extended deadline, the area was deregulated according to the 'Urban and Residential Environment Maintenance Act.'

The area will revert to the district unit plan special planning zone that was managed before the maintenance zone designation.

A Seoul City official stated, "Currently, Gwanak-gu Office is reorganizing the district unit plan for the Bongcheon area center, including this zone," adding, "We plan to review various options to introduce feasible project methods by collecting residents' opinions."
