Legal analysis: Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is responsible. The natural resources department is responsible for reviewing whether the applicant meets the requirements of area and height, and whether the building meets the national spatial planning. Involving agricultural land, it is also necessary to go through the examination and approval procedures for the conversion of agricultural land. Issuing rural construction permits after meeting the requirements is equivalent to one more procedure. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is responsible for the review, and the Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for issuing construction permits. Both are indispensable.
Legal basis: Article 7 of the Building Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). Before the construction project starts, the construction unit shall, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, apply to the construction administrative department of the people's government at or above the county level where the project is located for a construction permit. However, except for small projects below the quota determined by the administrative department of construction in the State Council. According to the authority and procedures stipulated by the State Council, the construction project that has approved the commencement report will no longer receive the construction permit.
