Effective: March 1 2012

 

Applicability: The term “plot ratio” means the ratio of the gross floor area to construction land area within a specified plot of land (Article 3).

Main contents: Where state-owned land use rights are provided by way of a grant, the competent urban and rural planning department of the city or county people's government shall, before granting the state-owned land use rights, make known the zoning conditions, such as plot ratio, based on the detailed regulatory plan, which shall serve as an integral part of the contract for the grant of state-owned land use rights. If the zoning conditions, such as plot ratio, for a plot have not been determined, the state-owned land use rights thereto may not be granted. If the zoning conditions, such as plot ratio, have not been included in a land use rights grant contract, such contract shall be invalid.

For a construction project to which the state-owned land use rights are provided by allocation, the owner shall submit to the competent urban and rural planning department of the city or county people's government an application for a construction land planning permit and the competent urban and rural planning department of the city or county people's government shall determine the control norms, such as the plot ratio of the construction land, based on the detailed regulatory plan and issue a construction land planning permit. The owner may apply for the use of the land to the competent land department of the local people's government at the county level and above only after it has secured the construction land planning permit (Article 4).
