Which authorities are responsible for regulating the development and designated use of individual parcels of real estate in this country and which legislation applies?
Various pieces of legislation deal with which authorities are responsible for regulating the development and designated use of individual parcels. In general, responsibility for regulating development and designated use of individual parcels of land largely lies with provincial and local authorities. Provincial and local authorities draw up and approve the plans for land planning and these are usually the competent authorities to conduct control procedures for any urban operation. However, as a rule, an approval of the urban plans by the central government is required.
