The company ANA Hotels, owned by businessman George Copos, has submitted a new request to the Brașov County Environmental Directorate to obtain the environmental permit necessary for the operation of the Panoramic restaurant on Mount Tâmpa. To respect the special regime of the protected area included in the Natura 2000 network, the company decided that supply delivery and waste transport will be carried out exclusively via the cable car, thus avoiding the need for an agreement for land vehicle transport.
The request to obtain the environmental permit was registered at DJM Brașov on May 13, 2026, after the initial documentation had been submitted in October 2025. The restaurant, located at 1B Bis Tiberiu Brediceanu Alley in Brașov, operates under CAEN rev. 3 code: 5611 (Restaurants). Its location on Mount Tâmpa, a reserve of national interest, requires obtaining this environmental permit to resume activity.
According to the executive director of DJM Brașov, Ciprian Băncilă, the documents submitted by ANA Hotels make no reference to using the access road for transport. The logistics plan is strictly based on operating the Tâmpa cable car, both for transporting goods and for the waste resulting from the activity. Under these conditions, the authorities determined that concluding an agreement for road use is not necessary.
The authorization procedure also includes a public information and participation stage, in accordance with the legal framework in force. The project holder is obliged to publish the request in the media or at the local City Hall, while DJM Brașov will display the issuance decision on its own website. Although the legislation does not provide for the online publication of the entire technical file, the complete documentation can be consulted upon request by the interested public.
