5. Land plots encroached upon, occupied, or land plots used for other purposes not permitted by competent state agencies.
6. A land plot that has built a level IV or higher construction according to the provisions of the law on construction, but when the land plot is divided, the entire level IV construction is not located entirely within one (01) new land plot and does not have a clear boundary (divided through a level IV or higher construction).
7. For land areas within the project premises that have been allocated or leased but this land is not allocated or leased (because it was previously planned land or belonged to the safety corridor of the construction and now the planning has been adjusted or the construction has been moved and no longer has a safety corridor) and has an area equal to or larger than the minimum area specified in Article 10 of this Regulation, it is still determined to be a small, narrow plot of land that does not meet the conditions for land division.
