The Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) has indicated its commitment to enforcing the State's Physical Planning laws to the letter by ensuring that all physical structures conform to planning regulations.
General Manager, LASPPPA, TPL Funmi Osifuye, stated that the Monitoring and Compliance Unit of the Agency has been re-energised and re-invigorated to enforce the Approved Physical Development Master Plan across the State.
Osifuye disclosed that more Town Planners have been deployed to LASPPPA by the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development to ensure the implementation of reforms that will ease the planning permit approval process as well as aid enforcement of laws and regulations.
"We have also strengthened and reorganised our Monitoring and Compliance Unit to ensure Statewide coverage enforcement. This will nip uneven and haphazard development in the bud, while at the same time availing the government a quality database to plan ahead for the populace.
Also, in pursuance of these objectives, LASPPPA District Officers have been empowered to grant planning permit approval in line with approved standards", he noted.
Submitting that these strategies are geared towards ensuring that structures are built in conformity with the State's Approved Planning Standards, Osifuye enjoined property owners and developers to obtain valid physical planning permits from District Offices of LASPPPA.
He disclosed that the process of acquiring physical planning permit and stage certification have been made seamless for citizens, stressing that getting approval should not take more than a month,especially with the implementation of the reforms to ease planning approval process.
He further revealed that the State Government has created an electronic planning permit platform to ease the process of obtaining a planning permit in order to enhance service delivery.
The General Manager implored residents, builders and property developers to visit the Authority's website: https://t.co/FLxIGINZhx to get started with the process of obtaining a planning permit.
