Legal processes concerning development plans, construction and related administrative acts.
General scope
Planning and development law considers planning decisions, parcel information, permits, occupancy documents and administrative acts together. The property’s current land-register record and planning status on the transaction date are the initial documents.
For acts such as a plan amendment, a construction stop report or an administrative sanction, the competent authority and service date matter. Technical drawings and reports are also checked for consistency with the legal file.
Main topics
- Development plans and amendments
- Building permits and occupancy procedures
- Land subdivision and implementation procedures
- Construction stop reports
- Administrative sanctions and court proceedings
Points for initial assessment
Verify the property
Match the block, parcel, land-register record and current plan sheet.
Establish the sequence of acts
Examine the application, authority’s response, report and service in order.
Distinguish technical documents
Do not confuse architectural and engineering findings with legal claims.
