Land Use and Development Control Act

The Land Use and Development Control Act is a law that guides how land can be used and developed in a particular area. It sets rules and regulations to ensure land is used responsibly, balancing development with environmental and community needs. The act provides procedures for planning, zoning, and approving construction projects, helping prevent haphazard development and ensuring proper infrastructure. Its goal is to promote organized growth, protect property rights, and create safe, sustainable communities by giving authorities the legal framework to manage land use effectively.
