It happens that owners of land allocated for development erect structures on it that cannot be built. The legislation stipulates which buildings can be built on private plots without obtaining permits.
What types of construction require permits?
Lawyer Iryna Honcharenko, in a comment to Channel 24 , said that when planning construction on a land plot of private ownership – a personal plot (for the construction and maintenance of a residential building, outbuildings and structures), a garden plot, a summer cottage – questions often arise about which objects have requirements for issuing construction permits.

The installation of fences (fences) on personal plots, summer cottages and garden plots does not require the issuance of permits. However, their construction must comply with the requirements of building codes. The height of the fences must be no more than 2 meters on the border of neighboring land plots and no more than 2.5 meters on the border with the street to ensure regulatory insolation and ventilation of adjacent territories.
You cannot build without permits:
- residential,
- summer cottages,
- private,
- apartment buildings and carry out their reconstruction,
- also build industrial,
- commercial premises,
- capital garages with foundations.
Unauthorized construction of any capital structures that do not correspond to the intended purpose of the site is illegal.
What works do not require permits?
Connection and connection to engineering networks in accordance with the technical conditions of individual (manor) residential buildings, garden and summer houses, outbuildings and structures, garages located on household, summer and garden land plots and land plots for the construction of individual garages does not require the issuance of permits.
At the same time, the implementation of the necessary engineering and technical measures must be ensured to prevent precipitation from the roofs and eaves of buildings from falling onto the territory of adjacent land plots or mutually coordinated drainage in accordance with the requirements of DBN V.1.1-25,
– added Iryna Honcharenko.
Iryna Goncharenko also reminds that without obtaining additional documents, it is allowed to equip buildings and structures with devices for separate metering of thermal energy, hot and cold water. Replacement of roofs of buildings and structures in accordance with building codes without interfering with load-bearing structures, as well as replacement of existing fillings of window, balcony and door openings is also carried out without the need to obtain separate permits .
Thermal insulation works of residential buildings put into operation (walls, roofs, attics, technical, basement, and basement floors), which, by the class of consequences (liability), belong to objects with minor (CC1) and medium (CC2) consequences, do not require obtaining permits from the State Agency for the Protection of the Environment.
