Frequently asked questions about urban planning lawyers
What does an urban planning lawyer do?
An urban planning attorney offers legal advice and representation in matters related to land planning and development, obtaining planning permits, land rezoning, expropriations, and the resolution of disputes arising from planning violations. He or she also works on the drafting and review of urban development agreements and defending the interests of property owners, developers, and public authorities.
What does urban planning law study?
Urban planning law focuses on the regulation of land use and urban planning. It studies the regulations and procedures related to land use, zoning, infrastructure development, environmental protection, and urban resource management. It includes the development of urban plans, the processing of licenses and authorizations, and compliance with current regulations.
When does a town planning crime expire?
The statute of limitations for urban planning offenses varies according to the legislation of each Autonomous Community, but generally, serious urban planning violations have a four-year statute of limitations, and minor ones have a one-year statute of limitations. It is crucial to consult the specific regulations of each region to determine the exact time periods and the conditions under which the statute of limitations applies.
What are the legal consequences of unlicensed construction?
Building without a permit can lead to several legal consequences, including financial fines, the obligation to demolish the unauthorized construction, and possible additional penalties. Furthermore, the offender may face legal proceedings and the imposition of injunctions by the government. Legalizing the construction, if possible, can also be a complex and costly process.
What legal action can I take if my license application is denied?
If your license application is denied, you can file an administrative appeal with the same authority that issued the denial, explaining why you believe the decision is incorrect. If the administrative appeal is unsuccessful, you can resort to administrative litigation and take the case to court. A planning attorney can advise you and represent your interests in both proceedings.
