Legal analysis: the construction of farms on rural cultivated land is considered illegal construction, and illegal construction refers to those buildings that have started construction without the permission of the competent authorities, changed the planning permit of construction projects without authorization, changed the nature of use without authorization, built buildings that have not been demolished after temporary construction, and buildings built by falsifying relevant materials to obtain permits. Illegal buildings have the characteristics of encroaching on safe passages and illegally occupying cultivated land, affecting urban public space, damaging the ecological environment, etc., and many illegal buildings are still hidden in legal buildings.

Illegal buildings damage the credibility of the city, destroy the urban landscape, restrict the healthy development of the city and the implementation of urban and rural planning, and also affect the future development of the city.

Legal basis: Article 11 of the Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Pollution from Large-scale Livestock and Poultry Breeding prohibits the construction of livestock and poultry farms and breeding communities in the following areas: (1) Drinking water source protection areas, scenic spots; (2) the core area and buffer zone of the nature reserve; (3) Urban residential areas, cultural, educational, scientific research areas, and other areas with concentrated populations; (D) laws and regulations other prohibited breeding areas.

If the procedures for building farms on farmland in rural areas are complete, it is not considered illegal.

Now the rural farms need to go through the breeding procedures, the previous farms did not handle the can now be redone, but for the restricted area and the forbidden area of the farm must be dismantled or shut down, for the breeding area, must see the treatment facilities with pollution sources, otherwise it will also be shut down. If the contamination is not particularly severe, it will not be bothered. At most, it is the people from the environmental protection department or the ** department to remind it.

The specific procedures for running farms on rural land are as follows:

1. Land use application;

2. Draw up construction plans;

3. Contract for the transfer of collective land use rights;

4. Floor plan;

5. Application approval form;
