Overview

There are many forms of interaction between a Developer and the Development Control Approving Authority, during the course of a project development. Between each stage of a development, different types of Approvals have to be obtained from the approving authorities, and that may involve different personals such as technicians and planners, who will have influence over the decision making process.

In some extent, external organizations (or Authorities) have to be consulted and the relevant documentation has to be communicated. Subsequently, the Development Control Authority will have to forward the outcome back to the developer.

Development Control is said to be the process of development applications, which access an information database related to land usage for decision-making. This system provides a broad base of information with retrieval tools supporting Land Use studies, and other land related assessment. It includes features to track usage and consumption on land resources specific up to individual projects, as well as consolidating such information over different stages for every project life cycle, with the relevant details obtained from various development applications from the respective Development Control Authorities.

Development Control Processes are relatively complex system that encompasses a wide range of Land and Infrastructure Development activities, such as "City Planning Control", "Additions and Alternations or Change of Land Usage".
