Can you build a house on a forest plot?
What possibilities does a forest plot offer? Can you build a house on it? Unfortunately, if you dream of living right next to the forest or want to save on the purchase of a building plot, you must know that the chances of transforming such a plot are slim. However, a lot depends on whether it is included in the Local Spatial Development Plan (MPZP). When planning to purchase such a plot of land for building a house, you should first check its status.
If the plot is listed as a forest plot in the Local Development Plan, it will be possible to build a house on it only if a local local development plan is amended and the plot is excluded from further forest production. Unfortunately, offices rarely agree to this. The chance of a spot change to the local development plan is increased by:
· location of the plot right next to the forest border;
· owning land with a valuation class below 3;
· no need to cut down trees;
· positive opinion issued by the management of the State Forests.
Can a forest plot be converted into a construction plot if it is not included in the local development plan?
The question remains whether a forest plot can be converted into a construction plot if it is not covered by the local development plan. In this case, the procedure is much easier and the chance of a positive outcome is much greater. When the plot does not have forest status in the local development plan, you can apply for a decision on development conditions. The formalities are similar to those for the transformation of an agricultural plot. In both situations, the issuance of development conditions is possible when the plot:
· is adjacent to another developed plot;
· has technical connections (possibly planned);
· has access to a public road.
When you manage to obtain a positive decision on development conditions, the formalities are not over yet. It is also necessary to submit an application to exclude the plot from forest production.
Is it worth buying a forest plot for investment purposes?
Real estate investments can bring a high rate of return. However, the key is to make the right purchase. A forest plot will not necessarily be a good example here. If you want to invest in land, it is better to choose a plot that is already intended for specific development. It may be a commercial, single-family or multi-family residential development. Appropriate planning conditions will make it much easier for you to carry out a specific investment on the plot, as well as its further resale.
