Streamlined Building Plan Approval Process by Lahore Development Authority (LDA)

Lahore: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has implemented substantial improvements in its building plan approval procedures, as reported on October 3.

The LDA has announced a remarkable reduction in the turnaround time for approving building plans, particularly for private housing schemes. Previously, this process took a lengthy 30 days, but it has now been expedited to just 3 working days. This initiative to accelerate the approval process was spearheaded by LDA Director General Muhammad Ali Randhawa, who stressed the importance of aligning the process with the public's needs. The primary aim is to create a smoother experience for all stakeholders.

Additionally, the LDA is actively working on the development of an accessible online system to further streamline the approval process. This online platform will complement the existing physical channels, offering the public multiple options for submitting and tracking their building plans.

LDA Chief Town Planner Azhar Ali has stated, "All essential reports and procedures, from site assessments to final approvals, will now be centralized at the One Window Cell." He also highlighted the elimination of redundant clerical processes and the introduction of revised Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Furthermore, the PITB-generated E-Khidmat software will enhance user-friendliness by providing comprehensive plot reports through GIS and generating challans using the SAP system.
