PPrroocceedduurreess 
In Spain, when construction works are performed without 
having a building permit or violating the conditions in a 
granted building license, the legal order is taken as 
perturbed. If the performed works are not compatible 
with the urban planning, the only procedure to restore the 
legal order will be resetting the physical reality to its 
original state, which may involve demolishing what was 
built, but if the works are compatible with urban 
planning, then it will be possible to legalize the 
performed works.
