We prepare reports and expert opinions (Due Diligence), perform legal reviews, conduct negotiations, and represent clients in administrative and contentious-administrative proceedings related to all areas of urban planning.

Frequently Asked Questions about Urban Planning Law

What happens if construction affects protected areas?

Construction in protected areas without authorization can result in severe penalties, including high fines, demolition of the construction, and, in some cases, criminal liability. Additionally, restoration of the affected environment may be required. It is crucial to seek legal advice before intervening in these areas.

What penalties exist for performing construction without a permit?

Building without a permit can result in fines, suspension of work, and, in severe cases, demolition of the construction. Penalties vary depending on the severity and local regulations. It may also involve additional legal liabilities, especially if it affects protected or special interest areas.

What is the process to legalize buildings on rustic land?

Legalizing buildings on rustic land requires a technical report, payment of fees, and administrative approval. A legalization project must be prepared by a qualified technician. In some cases, a special permit from the local council is needed. Failure to meet the requirements may result in penalties or even demolition orders.

What are the timeframes for legalizing constructions?

Timeframes for legalizing constructions vary by autonomous community. Generally, minor infractions prescribe in 4 years, and serious infractions in 8 years. However, on protected land, infractions may not prescribe. It is essential to seek legal advice to understand the specific deadlines applicable.

How can I consult the urban planning regulations for a plot of land?

You can consult the urban planning regulations by visiting the local council, reviewing the Cadastre or the Property Registry, or through digital urban planning platforms.
