Planning permit: Lagos grants 3-month amnesty to building owners
THE Lagos State government, yesterday, has given a three months extension for owners and developers of existing buildings without Planning Approvals in the state.
Recall that in April, the Lagos State government had announced the provision of an amnesty period of 90 days, from May 2 to July 30, 2024 to enable owners and developers of existing developments obtain Planning Permits without payment of statutory penal fees, which erecting buildings without approvals would have attracted.
Olumide said: “The Sanwo-Olu administration instituted the amnesty programme to cushion the effect of the current economic hardship on the built environment sector and equally enhance compliance to Physical Planning regulations to guarantee a livable, organised, orderly and sustainable built environment.”
