Development Control

This document summarizes a lecture on development control tools used by local authorities. It discusses key planning standards like land zoning, density, plot ratios, and building heights and setbacks. It provides examples of how these standards determine allowable development size and shape. The document emphasizes that understanding these planning standards enables quantity surveyors to model development economics in the early project stages by identifying constraints, estimating development potential and costs, and providing feasibility advice based on alternative development options.

Compute the maximum allowable space/Built-up areas.
Established Estimated Approximate Gross Development Value and Cost
Generate Project Optimization
Establish preliminary feasibility study.
Provide advice on development alternatives.
