Angkor residents given construction permission

In four months this year, the Apsara Authority has allowed people living in the Angkor area to build and repair 354 houses or do light construction in order to help facilitate their living conditions.

According to a report of the secretariat’s working group of five communities of the Apsara Authority, which was released yesterday, the working group decided to allow residents in the Angkor area to build, repair or do minor construction in 354 cases, including 72 cases in Prasat Bakong district, 71 cases in Angkor Thom district, 59 cases in Puok district, 45 cases in Banteay Srey district and 107 cases in Siem Reap city.

“The authorisation came after the community working team went to inspect the houses and related documents. They had asked the working team to confirm that they were elderly people who had lived in the Angkor area for a long time,” the report said. Long Kosal, spokesman for the Apsara Authority, said that examples of light construction included extra pieces of roof, bathrooms, toilets, chicken cages, cattle stables, wooden stalls and minor home repairs. He added that permission was strictly monitored and any construction or repairs would not affect the conservation of temples in the Angkor area.
