Can You Build on Agricultural Land?
The question "can I build a house or a greenhouse on agricultural-purpose land" is resolved, under the Spatial Planning, Architectural and Construction Activity Code, by one preliminary inquiry: does your plot fall within the area of application of a detailed development plan? The main basis for regulating the development of a land plot is precisely that detailed plan. On a plot located within the plan's area, construction is permitted in accordance with the plan, and the plan itself is the principal basis for issuing a construction permit.
Here the Code's most relieving rule operates: for a land plot covered by a detailed development plan, stage I of the construction-permit procedure need not be passed at all — the conditions for the plot's construction use are determined directly by the detailed plan. Where no such plan exists, the administrative proceedings established for permit stage I must be conducted. Before starting work on a project, it is therefore best to establish whether a detailed plan applies to your plot in your municipality — that alone decides which route to a permit you will follow.
