CDA Explains Housing Scheme Approval Process
The CDA clarified that private housing and farm housing schemes in Islamabad must complete a two-stage approval process before plots can legally be marketed, developed or sold.
First, the scheme’s Layout Plan (LOP) must receive approval from the relevant authority. After completing the required legal and regulatory formalities, the sponsor must then obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
According to the CDA, development and sale of plots can begin only after the required NOC has been issued.
Plot Buyers Advised to Verify CDA Approval
The release highlights the importance of checking the approval status of a housing scheme before making any investment or purchasing a plot.
Prospective buyers should verify whether a scheme has an approved Layout Plan and a valid NOC from the CDA before entering into a property transaction.
The CDA’s warning comes amid continued development and marketing activity in different parts of Islamabad, where private housing and land subdivision projects are being promoted to buyers.
The authority’s list is intended to inform the public about schemes that, according to the CDA, are operating or marketing plots without the required approvals.
Key Takeaway
A housing scheme’s advertisement or availability of plots for sale does not by itself establish CDA approval. Buyers should verify the scheme’s official approval status and NOC before purchasing property.
