The Voivode of Lower Silesia accepted the application submitted by GWW and issued a decision on the cancellation of the permit for construction of a 14-story apartment building in Zieleniec, which is being built on one of the nearby slopes. The local community is of the opinion that the investment poses a threat to the environment and water management of the region. We hope that interests of the Zieleniec inhabitants will be taken into account during further proceedings.

The GWW team composed of: Joanna Sebzda-Załuska, attorney, Dorota Chramęga, attorney, Roksana Waltrowska, trainee attorney, and Marta Banasiak, trainee attorney, has been representing the group of the Zieleniec inhabitants in this complicated case for over 1.5 years.
