Lagos Govt Declares 176 Estates Illegal Over Lack of Planning Approval
The Lagos State Government has declared 176 estates across Eti-Osa, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki, and Epe illegal due to lack of planning approval from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development. These estates have been given a 21-day ultimatum to process their layout approvals or face sanctions.
The declaration is due to the estates’ failure to obtain mandatory layout approvals, which is a violation of planning regulations. This non-compliance compromises the sustainable development goals and the T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda of the Lagos State Government, undermining the state’s urban planning framework.
Some of the affected estates include Adron Homes in Elerangbe, Aina Gold Estate in Okun-Folu, Diamond Estate in Eputu, Prime Water View Garden in Ikate Elegushi, Royal View Estate in Ikota, Oakwood Park Estate in Lakowe, and Livingstone Estate in Digboloye, Orofu, and Tagbati.
The Lagos State Government has made it clear that it will not tolerate unauthorized developments. Developers are required to register with the Lagos State Real Estate Regulatory Authority (LASRERA). Sanctions, including site closures and prosecution, may be imposed on non-compliant estates.
Estate owners have 21 days to submit the necessary documents to the Ministry’s office in Alausa, Ikeja, to process their layout approvals. The government is determined to ensure compliance with planning regulations to achieve its development goals. #Lagos Govt Declares 176 Estates Illegal Over Lack of Planning Approval#
