Construction on the territory of the Strandzha nature reserve will not be disrupted after a panel of experts from the eco ministry Thursday approved the masterplan of the Tsarevo municipality where the wilderness tract is located. The plan imposes only minor restrictions on the height and density of construction in the park. Planning approval was also granted to a golf resort near Varvara on the condition that it would result in the destruction of natural vegetation and the use of strong pesticides. The only member of the panel that voted against the masterplan said it will reduce the territory of the park by 900 ha. Under the masterplan, the bed capacity in the area will reach 59,000.
