Illegal construction in El Burgo

The Málaga Court has upheld the verdict against a man from El Burgo who built a two-storey property without permission, without submitting a project and on rural farmland.

The offences occurred in 2004 and the defendant was condemned to six months in prison, fined €3,500 and a demolition order was placed on the property. The defendant appealed the conviction but the original sentence has now been upheld.

As no licences of any form were requested or obtained and no permission requested to build on rural land at the time construction began, the Court ruled that it was not possible to ‘legalise’ the property and ordered its demolition.
