Parco dei Cento Laghi

The Authorization Certificate

All the projects regarding maintenance, installations, works, activities that have to be carried out in the territory of the Protected Area (Park and Adjacent Area) need the previous issue of the authorization certificate (Articles 40 and 49 of Regional Law LR 6/2005)

The request for the issue of the authorization certificate must be sent to the Park after filling in the form and attaching all the necessary documents for the execution of the preliminary inquiry. The results of the procedure will be ready within 60 days after all the documents and the complete request have been received. After this period of time, the authorization certificate is issued.

In case of incomplete documents, the Park Authority will inform the applicant within 20 days after the request has been received. The deadline for the issue of the authorization certificate accrues from the day in which all the necessary documents to formally complete the request have been received. Once the request is formally complete, the Park Authority will inform the applicant that the procedure has started, according to Law 241/90.

The deadline of the procedure can be postponed, only for once, of further 30 days, for needs deriving from a complex preliminary inquiry, with an eventual motivated and detailed request of further documents, that is in case it is necessary to require the advice of experts in the field, including, for Regional Parks, the Technical-Scientific Committee. In this case, the deadline for the tacit consent procedure will accrue from the day in which the further documents requested have been received.
