Legal and extra-legal causes of unauthorised construction (part 2)

Unauthorized construction is a social phenomenon, the occurrence of which depends on legal conditions. The regulation of construction, on the one hand, ensures public safety, on the other - violates the freedom of individuals. The conflict of values is particularly evident in the case of construction on one’s own plot, which does not pose a threat to other entities. The purpose of the article is to identify the determinants of the occurrence of unauthorized construction. They may result from imperfections in the functioning of the legal system (at the level of its creation or application). In this part of the work we will address the inflation of the law, the low quality of legal regulations, their frequent change and the attitude of the authorities to the norms of the law. In Part 2, we will discuss the extra-legal background of unauthorized construction - social, historical, economic, political. Determining the genesis of unauthorized construction can be an important guideline for the development of construction law.
