At this Public Sector Planning Club we reviewed:
- Recent developments in planning law, including cases and guidance
- Consideration of the use of planning conditions, including the appropriate use of pre-commencement conditions
- The powers available for stopping up and diverting highways, when these may be used, and points to consider
During the final planning club of 2015, we covered the following topics:
• planning enforcement - a look at key planning enforcement difficulties and how to overcome them
• The Planning and Housing Bill - considering the effect of this Bill and the government’s ‘crusade to get 1 million homes built by 2020’ from a planning perspective, with a particular focus on starter homes and the effect of these for local authorities.

California’s New Affordable Housing Laws – Part ThreeMeyers Nave
Governor Brown signed 15 bills into law on September 29, 2017 that are designed to help address California's affordable housing crisis. The approved bills take different approaches to the housing shortage in California, including providing more funding for affordable housing development, streamlining local government approval of housing projects, restoring local government's authority to impose inclusionary housing requirements on private housing developers, and strengthening the state's anti-NIMBY laws.
The new laws have implications and obligations for municipalities, housing related public agencies, and private developers. To help explain the new affordable housing regulatory landscape, Meyers Nave presented a three-part series addressing the most critical issues under the new laws. This presentation focuses on tightening state requirements for local housing including:
-New Housing Element Law Requirements and New “No Net Loss” Requirements – State Tightening Local Accountability for Accommodating Fair Share of Housing Production (AB 1397, SB 166, AB 879, AB 72)
-New Housing Accountability Act requirements – Putting Teeth in State Anti-NIMBY Laws (SB 167, AB 678, AB 1515)
-Accessory Dwelling Unit Requirements – Making Second Units Workable for Homeowners (AB 494, SB 229)
-Do’s and Don’ts for local governments
-How developers can use the new laws to get housing projects approved

Prime minister’s construction package – an evaluation Lubna Hasan
Prime Minister Imran Khan announced a historic incentive package for the construction industry in April 2020. This package focused on providing tax cuts, subsidies, and reducing the regulatory burden for creating a conducive environment for construction activities. Since construction in Pakistan is a labor-intensive sector, it was hoped that the package would help the PTI government, albeit partly, deliver its other election promise of creating 10 million jobs. The ancillary by-products were livelihood opportunities and affordable housing for the poor, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Will the package be able to deliver on the tall claims?

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education.

21. Accountant General of Pakistan
• “If the Authority is not capable to regulate private housing schemes and to
generate revenue but of becoming a safe haven for land encroachers and land
mafia then either Authority’s staff and offices in use be brought to the minimum
level or the Authority may change its Master Plan and accept the actual bitter
ground realities as CDA has no hold and powers to implement its rules in areas of
Zone-2, 3, 4 and 5. CDA may also define the new territory of Islamabad where it can
act as an Authority through proper implementation of its rules and regulations”
(AGP 2017: 23).
22. Chief Justice Islamabad High Court.
• “The proceedings before this court and the admitted facts have made it obvious that
either the writ of the statutory regulatory authorities and public functionaries has
eroded, or they have become willingly complacent in bending and ignoring the laws
so as to facilitate the enrichment of the privileged and powerful at the cost of
transgression of fundamental rights of the weaker citizens”.
AoA. Thank you for joining. My name is Lubna Hasan and I am presenting on behalf of my two co-authors . We were asked by Dr. Nadeem to study private HS. Roz hum ye sunte hain ke plot mein fraud
Specifically, to look at their regulatory framework. What is the process? How many steps are involved? How long does it take to develop a HS.
Just a quick synopsis of the IMP. Private HS are allowed in zones 2, 4,5 & E-11 in zone 1.
CDA regulates the PHS. The private Housing Schemes are regulated by ….. for Development of Private Housing/ Farm Housing Schemes in Islamabad Capital Territory Zoning Plan"
400 kanals in zones 2 and 5, and 200 kanals in E-11. As per sub-zone requirement in Zone 4. NOC from defence ministry and prepare documentation.
CDA has a fairly extensive regime for the development of PHS. For each step, the B&D is in contact with CDA.
M&P for HS provide ample leverage for CDA to monitor development of HS
This table on land use is important. Most LOPs are cancelled due to violations in land use pattern.
Time ranges from less than three months to 9 n half years (OPF). Societies can take more than two decades to develop. Information about completion certificate is from AGP 2017
It is strange that societies, whose NOC was cancelled, are still on the “Authorized Societies List”
