Our lawyer puts in an application to the Kotor Planning Department for a house on the plot, for inclusion in the Urban Plan for Risan, which is about to be revised. This is a necessary step, as although the piece of concrete (which we’ve christened ‘Le Beton’) has been there for about 20 years, it is clearly not a house. Locals would probably knock it down and build anyway, but as foreigners, and particularly with our plans for an Eco-House, we need to be completely legal.
