In recent years, with the acceleration of urbanization, rural construction has also been improved and developed accordingly. However, in some places, when renovating farmhouses, they have inadvertently made them illegal. Once discovered, the farmhouses face the fate of being demolished. What is even more surprising, however, is that even if the illegal roofs are replaced with roofs that meet the planning requirements, the problem still does not seem to be solved. So, why can't you change the roof?What exactly went wrong?
Let's take a look at what illegal construction is. Illegal construction, i.e., buildings built in violation of laws, planning, and relevant regulations. They generally include violations of the law, such as not being approved, exceeding the prescribed height or size, not being designed, etc. There are two main reasons why farmhouses become illegal after renovation: one is the non-compliant operation in the process of building the house, and the other is that the nature of the building itself does not match the plan. In the process of renovating farmhouses, the construction party often ignores the corresponding planning requirements and blindly expands or reconstructs, resulting in the irregular appearance and structure of the house, thus violating the architectural planning scheme. For example, during the renovation process, existing farmhouses are often demolished or expanded, which may be beyond the permitted planning scope. In addition, construction personnel are also easy to ignore some details when carrying out renovation, such as the height, area, and function of the house, which may become illegal factors.
The nature of the farmhouse does not conform to the plan, which is also one of the important reasons why the renovation becomes illegal. Originally, farmhouses were built to meet the needs of agricultural production and farmers' housing, and their scale and function were planned according to actual needs. However, during the renovation, some villagers or builders may over-expand the farmhouse, thus changing the nature of the original farmhouse. In this way, the farmhouse is no longer only used for agricultural production or the peasants' residence, but has become a non-agricultural building such as residences and shops that violate the plan, and naturally becomes an illegal construction. Even if the illegal farmhouse is rebuilt and the roof is replaced with a roof that conforms to the plan, the problem still does not seem to be solved. There are two issues involved: the legality of the alteration, and the approval process.
In some cases, minor adjustments to the exterior of the farmhouse and replacement of the roof may be permitted for the legality of the alteration. However, such adjustments must comply with the requirements of ** and the relevant planning authorities, and require appropriate approvals and approvals. Otherwise, even if it only changes the appearance of the farmhouse, it may be considered illegal. As for the approval process, this is because the planning and approval process for rural construction is different from that for urban construction. Rural construction involves many departments, including agriculture, construction, forestry and other aspects, which need to be approved in accordance with relevant laws and prescribed procedures. If the relevant approvals are omitted during the renovation of the farmhouse, even if the renovation is finally carried out and the roof is replaced, it may be determined that the building is illegal because the procedures are incomplete.
To sum up, after the renovation of a farmhouse, it becomes an illegal building, which needs to be professionally approved and legalized. Simply changing the appearance of the roof won't solve the problem, because the cause of the illegal construction may be more than just the roof. Although changing the roof may seem like a solution to the crisis, there are still problems that need to be addressed. We hope that the relevant departments can strengthen planning management, optimize the approval process, and deal with illegal construction problems in accordance with laws and regulations, so as to provide stricter, scientific and reasonable guidance and guarantee for rural construction.
What is not exhaustive is that behind the problem of illegal construction after the renovation of rural houses hides a series of challenges that need to be solved urgently, such as rural land use problems and planning and design capacity problems. These questions will be directly related to the questionnaire on rural development and will require all parties to work together, govern according to the law, and find sustainable solutions. Only through the continuous improvement of planning and management can the problem of illegal construction of rural houses after renovation be effectively solved, and rural development can move towards a healthier and more sustainable direction. We look forward to the active participation and support of relevant experts, scholars and leading departments to jointly contribute wisdom and strength to solve this problem. Let us work together to contribute to rural revitalization.
