Accordingly, the reader said that the family already had residential land, now wants to convert the remaining agricultural land area in the same plot of residential land to residential land. The entire plot of land in accordance with the district-level land use planning is rural land, however, this area has not yet had a construction plan.
In addition, the new rural planning and rural residential areas established since 2011 do not plan the above land to rural residential areas.
Readers ask whether the agricultural land is eligible for changing its purpose of use?
Responding to this issue, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that Clause 5, Article 116 of the 2024 Land Law stipulates the basis for land allocation, land lease, and permission to change land use purposes.
In particular, the regulation clearly states that the basis for allowing the conversion of agricultural land use purposes in residential areas, agricultural land in the same plot of land with residential land to residential land or the conversion of non-agricultural land use purposes other than residential land to residential land for households and individuals is district-level land use planning or general planning or zoning planning according to the provisions of the law on urban planning approved by competent authorities.
The Ministry recommends that citizens contact local agricultural and environmental agencies for further answers according to their authority.
