The hearing on a petition filed by the Carmel Coast Company, controlled by Yitzhak Teshuva, is planned against the planning authorities for its rights to construct four additional towers on Haifa's seaside, alongside the two already established, will be held this Monday. It is a historical land of the company, and the plan applied to it allows the construction of six towers, two of which were completed in the 1990s, but then began a public battle against construction due to its proximity to the beach. As part of the legal process, the possibility of providing alternative land to the company is being considered to save the coastal strip.

The Carmel Coast Towers Plan, as well as other approved plans for construction near the Israeli coast, which have not yet been built, are dragging public, planning and legal struggles against their implementation. This is because amendments made to the protection of the beaches - such as the National Outline Plan (TAMA) 13 of 1983, and the Coastal Law in 2004 - took effect after their approval, leaving them threatened by the coastal strip.

Calcalist now reveals that, in 1988, five years after the 13th MCA, which bans construction within 100 meters of the waterline, was approved, the local planning and construction committees were supposed to bring the same plans approved before the plan came into force for renewed discussion to align with the TAMA .
