Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions regarding physical planning regulations, building plan approval processes, and the role of registered town planners across Osun State.
What is Town and Regional Planning?
Town and Regional Planning is the art and science of ordering the use of land, the arrangement of buildings, and the provision of communication routes and open spaces to secure economy, convenience, beauty, and sustainable development for communities.
Who is a Registered Town Planner?
A registered town planner is a qualified professional who has undergone certified training, is registered with the Town Planners Registration Council of Nigeria (TOPREC), and is an inducted member of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP), bound by a strict professional code of conduct.
Why must I engage a Registered Planner before buying land or building?
Engaging a registered planner ensures that your proposed site is not zoned for government acquisition, right-of-way, or ecological hazards. They prepare statutory layout plans and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) reports required for fast, hassle-free state government approval.
