DCP6203 LAW AND PLANNING PRACTICE
Notice of request / receipt notice will be issued by the local planning authority in the following
circumstances:
(a) Notice issued to the landowner who developed the land and the development has caused a land-
use conflict;
(b) This inappropriate development is blocked to mitigate the stress of existing and future
development.
(c) The action against the landowner is to control plans that do not meet the requirements;
(d) The local planning authority takes action after having sufficient evidence to explain the wrongdoing
of the landowner; and
(e) The local planning authority acts in accordance with the decision of the State Authority. However,
Section 30 (2) of Act 172 provides that a person aggrieved by a notice of acquittal may appeal to the
Appeal Board within the prescribed period.
(b) Has incurred expenses or expenses in carrying out work as a result of compliance with this demand
notice.
In conclusion, the demand notice is very useful in enabling local planning authorities to deal with
development activities that exist in a location that is no longer in accordance with the
surrounding development. Such activity has been around for a long time, before the existence of
a planning control system that required planning permission.
In some cases when the application for planning permission is refused, the land in question is found to
be unavailable. Additionally the land may have been allocated for the acquisition and thus the
landowner could not sell the land. To deal with this situation Part Vll of Act 172 provides for a notice of
purchase.
Section 37 (1) provides for a person who finds that his land is no longer available for use as a result of:
(a) The refusal of planning permission on the grounds that the land has been shown in the
development plan as proposed land for public purposes; or
(b) Compliance with the notice of request served to him under section 30.
(a) A statement of the facts and reasons for supporting the claims in the notice; and
(b) Copies of any documents available, including affidavits which may provide evidence of such facts
and reasons.
Section 37 (3) further provides that when the local planning authority receives a claim in the notice
purchased from the landowner concerned, the authority shall investigate whether the claim is
reasonable.
Section 37 (4) allows a local planning authority to reject a purchase notice submitted by the landlord
if:
(a) it is not satisfied that the notice of purchase is in the form prescribed in the rules; or
(b) it is not satisfied that the purchase notice has been prepared or served in the manner prescribed in
the rules.
Section 37 (7) further provides for the procedure for assessing the amount of compensation
required to be paid for land acquisition. The assessment of the amount of compensation should be
calculated:
(b) It is as if the notice of request served under section 30 in respect of the land was not served and
the notice was not complied with.
This provision is intended to ensure that it complies with the provisions of the Land Acquisition Act
1960.
