Appraisal of the extraordinary contribution in General Regulatory Plan of Rome

With the new General Regulatory Plan for Rome, adopted with D.C.C. No. 33/2003 and approved with D.C.C. No. 18/2008, in the part concerning the criteria for equalization, they introduce/insert the so-called “Extraordinary Contribution” to urbanization, one of the most important innovations, introduced by the new Plan, which fixes an amount in addition to the cost of primary urbanization and those related to building permit, borne by the promoter of urban transformation development project. However, at a distance of eleven years after the adoption of the new General Regulatory Plan for Rome and more than six after its final approval, the regulation for the calculation of the Extraordinary Contribution was finally approved by the Rome City Council. One of the reasons for this delay is identified in the legal basis of the additional financial obligation of the project developer, and an appeal brought before the Regional Administrative Court of Law [T.A.R.] was put to rest with the Legislative Decree No. 78/2010 converted into Law No 122/2010 where Article 14(16) permits the introduction of Extraordinary Contribution with the exact wording of the technical conditions of the new GRP for Rome and with the decision of the Council of State, Section IV No 4545 of 13/07/2010. Several attempts have been made to regulate this additional cost, the last of which was the approval by the Board of Councillors in February 2014 definitively ratified by City Council Resolution No. 128/2014 of a regulation stating, in summary, that the real estate value to which the extraordinary contribution for urbanisation must be applied, i.e. at the rate of 66.6% as described in Article 20(3) of the Rule for Implementation (NTA), is equal to the difference between two distinct transformation values (below VT) of the property transformed: VT1-VT, i.e. the difference between the Value of the Transformation of the property, calculated taking into account the additional construction foreseen by the proposed intervention (VT1), subtracted from the Value of Transformation of the same property under normal urban regulations without further negotiations, so setting the parameters and the method of calculation.
