According to the Land Code of Ukraine, after establishing the intended use of a plot, the territory is assigned to one of the established categories. Changing the land’s intended use arises from the users’ need to use their plot for a purpose different from what was initially planned, such as building modern residential-office complexes instead of outdated industrial quarters. Conversely, it may involve bringing current land use in line with the city’s master plan requirements.

A necessary change might also involve updating the intended use in the State Land Cadastre records, concerning the configuration, general characteristics, or restrictions of the land plot. Changing the land’s intended use during martial law is carried out without restrictions; there are no prohibitions on the process.

It is important to remember that mere desire or production need is usually not enough to change land data. Primarily, necessary conditions may include considering the will of the landowner, sometimes adjacent land users, and functional zoning of the territory. Thus, the process of making changes is often preceded by preparatory work (obtaining the landowner’s consent, developing a detailed territorial plan, etc.).

Therefore, to choose the optimal model of behavior, it is worth analyzing the client’s ultimate goal, the current land use and urban planning situation, the current regulatory framework, which has recently undergone reform, and assessing the risks of each possible implementation mechanism.

When changing the intended use of a land plot independently, it will be necessary to contact a land surveyor, develop a project, and submit requests and written petitions for approval of the relevant aspects of use. Changing the intended use of a land plot during wartime requires particular skills and patience, especially if the territory is close to the combat zone.
