Area Development Project Approval Services

At AUJ LAWYERS LLP, we offer comprehensive legal services for the approval and execution of Area Development Projects under the jurisdiction of Lahore Development Authority (LDA). Our expert team of lawyers is dedicated to providing tailored legal solutions to ensure your project's compliance with all regulatory requirements and successful implementation.

Our Services

An Area Development Project refers to a development on a land area between 24 Kanals and 200 Kanals, outside approved schemes. These projects allow for mixed land uses, excluding industrial, hazardous, or environmentally sensitive uses. Such projects require adherence to specific conditions and standards as prescribed by the LDA land use regulations.

1. Project Feasibility and Planning: Our firm offers a range of services starting with project feasibility and planning. We provide a detailed analysis of the project area, identifying permissible and prohibited land uses. Our team assesses infrastructure and traffic impacts, as well as market demand and compatibility with surrounding land uses.

2. Regulatory Compliance and Approvals: In terms of regulatory compliance and approvals, we guide you through the stringent LDA approval process. This includes the preparation and submission of necessary documentation for project approval and obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from relevant authorities, including the Traffic Engineering and Transport Planning Agency (TEPA).

3. Land Use Conversion: For land use conversion, we assist with the entire procedure, ensuring the calculation and payment of conversion fees are in accordance with LDA regulations. We make certain that all building and zoning regulations applicable to the project area are fully complied with.

4. Subdivision and Development: In the subdivision and development phase, we provide legal support for land subdivision within the project. Our services ensure adherence to mandatory space requirements, including provisions for open spaces and public utilities. We also offer guidance on multi-storey and multi-purpose construction regulations.

5. Final Approvals and Implementation: For final approvals and implementation, we facilitate the necessary approvals from the LDA Governing Body, ensuring all legal formalities are completed. We manage the issuance of conversion fee challans and ensure compliance with all final approval conditions.

6. Procedure for the Process: The procedure for area development project approval begins with the initial application, which involves the submission of the application to the Metropolitan Planning Wing along with the required scrutiny fee. The Deputy Director then forwards the case to the Director of Metropolitan Planning. The Planning & Design Committee reviews the case, evaluates it, and makes recommendations. If the LDA Governing Body is satisfied, it grants final approval. Following this, the conversion fees, which are 20% of the commercial value of the land, must be paid. Compliance with building regulations and mandatory provisions for open spaces and public utilities is also required.
