Sending a question to the Government's Electronic Information Portal, a reader said that he has 10,000m2 of agricultural land, and has developed a plan for land use combined with trade and services on an area of 4,000m2.
The reader's land plot in the area planned for general construction by the locality is a residential area (residential land) for the period 2021-2030.
The 2024 Land Law does not stipulate the requirement for combined land use in accordance with general construction planning. Readers ask, can I consider approving the land use plan for multiple purposes as above?
Referring to this content, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said that according to the provisions of Point a, Clause 1 and Clause 4, Article 218 of the 2024 Land Law, agricultural land is used in combination with commercial, service, livestock, and medicinal plant cultivation purposes;
In cases of land use combined with trade and services, a land use plan must be prepared and submitted to the competent authority for approval.
The dossier, order, and procedures for approving the land use plan for multi-purpose combined are specified in Section V, Part VII, Appendix I issued with Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP dated June 12, 2025 of the Government regulating the division of authority of local authorities at 2 levels, decentralization, and delegation in the land sector.
