Official CDA Legal Framework and Approvals (Text provided)
In the interest of the general public and other stakeholders, it is informed that the CDA Ordinance, 1960, ICT (Zoning) Regulations, 1992 and the revised modalities and procedures framed there under for private housing schemes empower CDA to regulate planning and development of private housing schemes. In exercise of the powers conferred by section 51 of the Capital Development Authority Ordinance 1960, the Capital Development Authority has issued regulations for the “planning and development of private housing/farm housing, apartment/commercial schemes/ projects in Zone-II, IV and V of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), 2023 framed under ICT Zoning Regulations 1992”.
Two-tier approvals of private housing schemes are granted by CDA:
- Technical approval of the Layout Plan (LOP) of the scheme.
- Upon completion of subsequent formalities, the No Objection Certificates (NOC) for development of the scheme are issued. The sponsors can start development work and the sale of plots after obtaining NOC from CDA. Application addressed to Director Municipal Administration, CDA Islamabad.
