Shareda: Faster DP approval can lower house prices

January 30, 2015 by Kent Ta

SABAH — Speedier development plan (DP) approval could reduce losses for developers and the savings
could be passed down to consumers, according to Sabah Housing Real Estate Developers Association
(Shareda) President Datuk Francis Goh.

This is possible by changing the current approval procedure directly to the Central Board (CB) under the
State Local Government and Housing Ministry from local authorities and relevant departments.

He said that Shareda has always voiced out developers’ concerns over the long duration, which takes
between 18 to 24 months for processing. Goh said the delay in processing always entails a five to 10 per
cent of the property prices.
“We recommend the ‘top down’ procedure instead of the traditional ‘bottom up’ process whereby it is
highly suggested that the DP is submitted directly to the CB, which is the highest approving authority,”
said Goh.

Goh said the current procedure prescribes developers to submit their DP to the local authority that will
later distribute it to 11 advisory departments like the Public Works Department (PWD) and drainage and
Irrigation Department (DID) for feedback and comments.
After collating all comments from the 11 departments, the local authority will call for a meeting to look Goh said the delay in processing always
into the DP and give approval before forwarding it to the CB, which requires another three to four entails a five to 10 per cent of the
months to deliberate the DP. Approval will be given by the local authority upon the CB’s approval. property prices.

“The whole procedure will take about 18 to 24 months. Additionally, we need to apply for the
commercial rate to pay for the land premium and the developer license that would take another six
months, adding up to a total duration up to 30 months,” said Goh.
Developers would bear hefty losses, including consultation fees if the Board rejected their DP. Goh said
that if the ‘top down’ approach is adopted instead, it will reduce the development risks.

 SUGGESTION IN THE THESIS DONE BY NOOR SUZILAWATI
DEVELOPMENT PLAN STAGE
1. Document and guidelines are to be reviewed - One of the findings related to planning documents and guidelines is that the
provision of law and procedures in Ordinance (Sabah Cap 141) are outdated. Thus, it is recommended that the planning document i.e. Sabah Cap
141, Building by-laws 1984, planning scheme and local plan to be reviewed.

2. Standardization of Planning Submission Process - Checklist and guidelines for condition need to be standardized and updated. The
updated version would help to provide accurate information to the public as well as to professionals or practitioners. This could assist in linking
development control process whilst increasing professional recognition and understanding towards the process in the state. It is recommended that
the process of site investigation procedure should be made compulsory and systematically designed to expedite the process. This approach could
ensure greater awareness on the development control process and help in achieving sustainable development.

3. Increase the number of OSC Secretariats within every council - Currently, there is only one OSC member who functions as the
secretariat within every local authority’s area. Due to the wide scope of development planning system, it is recommended that every local
authority’s area employ permanent OSC secretariat. This recommendation is concurrent with the issue of lack of manpower to execute planning
investigation procedure.

4. Planning Approval Process - All developers and consultants should adhered to the guidelines and planning Act for their planning
application. Major issues in planning application are delays in the approval process. Concurrent with this finding, it is recommended that all
professionals involved in the process such as developer, consultant and the general public to refer to the provision of planning documents and Act
as a guideline during preparation of development proposals. In effect, this process will reduce consequences of refusal of the planning application
and speed up the process for planning permission and approval.

5. Establishment of a direct and more transparent public engagement - The research findings suggest that involvement of the
public can help to strengthen the process of development control in the state. Even though there is a procedure for public engagement stated in
Sabah Cap 141, but in real practice, only a limited number of the public will participate in the process. With the establishment of a direct and more
transparent public engagement procedure in the process, this would help to tackle and even solve local problems related to development control
process in the state.

6. A standard time frames for different types of application - Planning application and approval process should be set up with a
sensible time-frame from the start. Standardize time frame for different types of planning application based on its complexity, major or minor of
conditions imposed on the application and scale of proposed development is recommended to guide local authorities as well as developers and
public throughout the development control process.
