Government facilitates construction on rustic and agricultural land

«Alexandre Roque, a Partner at SRS Legal in the areas of urban planning and spatial planning law, has a different opinion, according to which the 2014 amendment "crystallised land use". The lawyer considers that the proposed law "has room to evolve and does not allow the use of land in the Agricultural and Ecological Reserves". In practice, he argues, "there is a simplification of land use that has a limited scope and that no longer requires a detailed plan, which, on average, cannot be approved in less than two years". And it introduces "legal security for owners". A draft law that Alexandre Roque sees as "good" and that "may increase the perspective of use of many lands, by allowing the construction of housing", and also with the "dispensation of bureaucracy", by breaking the previous request for information that authorised the construction but held the land captive "for years".»
