Development Permission Applications

Navigating development approvals can be overwhelming, especially with changing regulations and multiple institutions involved. Roswell Spatial simplifies the process by handling the technical work, documentation, and follow-up so your project moves forward without unnecessary delays.

 

We make sure your development complies with all planning and land-use requirements, and we help you secure the right permissions the first time. We guide our clients through the application process, prepare supporting documentation, and liaise with authorities to facilitate smooth approvals.

 

Our services include:

• Land Subdivision & Amalgamation

• Change of Use & Extension of Use

• Renewal & Extension of Leases

 

​​

Land subdivision & Amalgamation:

What it is:

Land Subdivision is the process of splitting a parcel of land into smaller plots for sale, development, or inheritance.

Amalgamation is the opposite, i.e., combining two or more plots into one larger parcel.

 

How we help:

We prepare all planning reports, subdivision/amalgamation schemes, and coordinate with licensed surveyors and relevant authorities. We ensure the layout is compliant, technically sound, and ready for approval. From concept to submission, we guide you through every step so the process is smooth and efficient.

 

Change of Use

What it is:

Change of Use is required when you want to alter how land or a building is legally used, for example, from residential to commercial, or agricultural to residential. It applies when the proposed use is significantly different (more than 20% change in built-up area/plot coverage), goes against existing zoning rules, or does not match the current approved plans or lease conditions.

 

How we help:

We assess the suitability of the new use, prepare all required planning reports, coordinate site plans with architects and surveyors, and submit the application to the county. We ensure the proposal aligns with zoning regulations so it gets approved without costly delays.

 

Extension of Use

What it is:

Extension of Use allows you to add an extra use to your property without replacing the primary, registered use. The new activity must be compatible with the current use and the neighborhood character. It applies when the change affects less than 20% of the registered land use and is meant to comply with updated zoning or development plans.

 

How we help:

We guide you in determining whether your project qualifies as an extension rather than a full Change of Use. We prepare the justification reports, review compliance with zoning, compile the drawings, and handle the county submission and follow-up.

 

Extension of Lease

What it is:

Lease extension is the process of adding more years to an existing lease before it expires. It continues the original lease terms, with no break in the legal timeline. It essentially gives you a longer runway before the lease comes to an end.

 

How we help:

We help you understand the terms of your current lease, prepare the necessary documentation, advise on compliance requirements, and submit the extension application on your behalf. Our support ensures the process is handled correctly and completed in good time.

 

Renewal of Lease

What it is:

Lease renewal is different from an extension. It creates a brand new lease after the old one expires, with a legal break between the two periods. This often involves updated terms, new conditions, and fresh approvals.

 

How we help:

We guide you through preparing for the renewal, assembling all required documents, ensuring compliance with current planning regulations, and coordinating with authorities to secure a new lease term. We make sure the property remains legally protected and properly registered.
