159 After getting principle approval from the State Authority, the applicant has to submit the application to the particular local authorities to obtain planning permission approval. This Second Stage SBKS involves a detailed assessment of the layout plan by technical departments. The detailed assessment is required to ensure legislative provisions, planning standards and guidelines, and conditions by technical departments are fulfilled before an approval is granted by the LPA. The approved application will then be forwarded to the State Authority for the final land development or surrender and re-alienation approval (Figure 5.8).
