Restrictions of private owner’s rights to a land plot

摘要

This article discusses restrictions on the rights of the owner of a land plot in the Russian legislation related to environmental protection. Urgency of the issues of restricting the rights of a private owner to a land plot lies in the size of limits of such restrictions in order to comply with the interests of third parties, as well as to preserve the environment. This reason is becoming more popular and often proposals are being considered to increase measures aimed at protecting nature with a revision of the owner’s exclusive rights to a land plot. During the study, such suggestions were highlighted as: possibility of the land plot owner to initiate the impossibility of using the land for its intended purpose in connection with classifying such a land as land that authorities are required to withdraw in accordance with the law; provide the owner of the land plot, including common owners, the right to dispose of tree-shrub vegetation located on such a plot. In connection with selection of proposals, it was concluded that it is necessary to amend Russian legislation to the legal acts regulating the above mentioned relations. We believe that in the era of global transformations, these proposals will be timely, improve public relations and meet the requirements for protecting both the economic rights of owners and the environment.
