According to the Da Nang Department of Construction, the Hoi An Ward People's Committee has a proposal related to considering allowing new construction and expansion of hotels for some cases that have not changed land use purposes; do not have zoning plans, detailed plans or have not consolidated the expanded area.

The People's Committee of Hoi An city (old) previously issued a document approving the policy of building a hotel in the form of an official letter, which is not an administrative procedure according to legal regulations, so it is not a basis for carrying out investment and construction procedures.
Regarding planning, the city's general plan is currently in the process of being completed according to the plan. For Hoi An ward, the development of sub-area planning is assigned to the Ward People's Committee to organize implementation.
According to regulations, detailed planning - the basis for implementing construction investment projects is only implemented after the sub-area planning is approved. The Department of Construction proposed that the City People's Committee direct the Hoi An Ward People's Committee to accelerate the progress of preparing and approving sub-area planning; and at the same time review hotel projects that have been approved and cases with new construction and expansion needs to update into the sub-area planning, as a basis for implementing the next steps.
Investment consideration must ensure compliance with the approved plan, the ability to meet technical infrastructure and general development orientations; do not update the plan according to individual cases.
For the minimum land area for building hotels, the previous regulations of Hoi An city (old) have expired; currently there are no specific regulations on the minimum area. Investment consideration must ensure compliance with the approved plan, the ability to meet technical infrastructure and general development orientations.
In the context that the area does not have a detailed plan or separate urban design, construction permits must be issued based on the approved plan and architectural management regulations issued by competent authorities.
