LASG reviews duration of presenting registered statutory title document for approval
Mr Kehinde Osinaike, LASPPPA’s General Manager, made the disclosure in a statement on Thursday.
According to him, the reduction in the duration of processing the document is necessary to address the rate of non-compliance with the terms of agreement in presenting registered statutory title documents for approval.
He said the reduction was also help to address the level of abuse by members of the public.
“ LASPPPA has over the years observed that 99 per cent of applicants granted provisional permits based on possession of Proof of Land Ownership other than Registered Land Statutory Title stipulated for the procurement do not return to the Authority with their title document for final planning permit approvals.
“To this end, it has been found necessary to bring to the notice of owners and developers that;
“Henceforth, the grace period stipulated between the time of obtaining provisional building approval based on the presentation of proof of Land ownership documents and the presentation of Registered Statutory Title Documents for final approvals has been reduced from two years to nine months.
“Also, a maximum of three months grace has been approved for all applicants with pending provisional permits that are yet to be finalised to present their titled documents to LASPPPA.
“And obtain their final approval or have their provisional permits withdrawn,” he said.
Osinaike noted that applicants with Provisional Permits that have elapsed the two years stipulated period hitherto approved for the finalisation of their permits are advised to approach LASPPPA District Offices covering the area where their building is located with their title documents.
He added that owners and developers could as well visit the LASPPPA Head Office at Oba Akinjobi Way, Ikeja, Lagos State for rectification.
He, therefore, urged owners and developers in the state to build responsibly and voluntarily comply with the new notice.
