Legal Advice for Agricultural Lands

Questioner

I have a pasture of agricultural land. Can I construct a path without a permit? (hardened). This is to increase effectiveness on the land.

Lawyer

For this, it is best to first consult the zoning plan for the rural area of ​​your municipality. This states whether an environmental permit is required for the construction of a paved path for 'Agricultural' designated land within the municipality, including land intended for agricultural use. This also states on what grounds the Board of Mayor and Aldermen may or may not refuse or grant this environmental permit. I suspect that you will probably have to submit an application for an environmental permit 'activity carrying out a work' to the environmental desk of your municipality. But it is better to check this there. Each municipality has its own zoning plan.

Questioner

Thanks for the information I'll get started. Too bad there are no general rules for this.

Lawyer

The authority to draw up zoning plans is based, among other things, on the Spatial Planning Act (Wro). The Wro requires every municipality (and national government and province) to have a structural vision, in which the spatial development image is described. Every municipality therefore has its own zoning plan with the content, distribution and powers. So in fact the zoning plan of your municipality is a kind of general regulation that applies to everyone within your municipality. Success.
