RESOLUTION
ON PILOT APPLICATION OF A NUMBER OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENT IN PROJECTS ON NEW URBAN CENTERS, RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF INDUSTRIAL PARKS
Recently, the Government has concentrated on directing the implementation of many measures to simplify cumbersome administrative procedures with a view to accelerating the implementation of construction investment projects and making positive improvements in construction investment management. However, in reality, administrative procedures for construction investment, especially those applicable to projects on new urban centers, residential areas and technical infrastructure of industrial parks remain complex and time-consuming.
In order to further reform administrative procedures, reduce formalities and time required for completing procedures and improve the effectiveness of management of and investment in the aforesaid three types of projects, the Government resolves:
Article 1. To apply on a pilot basis a number of administrative procedures for construction investment in projects on new urban centers, residential areas and technical infrastructure of industrial parks.
1. Regarding procedures for elaborating, evaluating, approving and adjusting detailed construction plans:
a/ For areas without approved l:2.000-scale detailed construction plans, local administrations shall expeditiously organize the elaboration of these plans to serve as a basis for the investment in the projects. If investment decisions have been issued but no 1:2.000-scale detailed construction plans are available, provincial-level People's Committees may authorize investors to elaborate and submit these plans for approval under regulations. Local administrations shall assign architectural and planning tasks, contents and norms to investors for use as a basis for the elaboration, evaluation and approval of plans, and at the same time collaborate with and assist these investors in elaborating these plans under law. Investors authorized to elaborate plans may be prioritized to act as investors of planned projects.
Plan-evaluating agencies shall examine and reply on the completeness and validity of dossiers within 5 working days. In case of incomplete or invalid dossiers, evaluating agencies shall provide written guidance for investors to complete their dossiers under regulations. The supplementation of dossiers may be made only once. The time limit for evaluation and approval of a l:2,0(X)-scale detailed construction plan is 30 working days.
Based on practical conditions, investors may propose local administrations to allow them to elaborate only 1:500-scale detailed construction plans suitable to sizes of planned land plots, but not both 1:500 and l:2.000-scale ones.
b/ Regarding the gathering of comments of concerned agencies upon evaluation of 1:500-scale detailed construction plans:
After finalizing 1:500-scale plans, investors shall submit plan dossiers to competent local state management agencies, which shall subsequently gather comments of concerned state management agencies for plan evaluation and approval. Within 30 working days after complete dossiers are submitted by investors to competent local state management agencies, local administrations shall complete the plan evaluation and approval and issue approval decisions to investors. If major contents of these plans are changed under new requirements, competent agencies shall collaborate with investors in supplementing and finalizing the dossiers within 30 working days.
