Plan consent for qualified person submission

Introduction to plan consent (qualified person submission)

Qualified Person (QP) submissions are submissions made where the applicant is a registered architect or engineer.

To carry out development or renovation works (e.g. new erection, additions & alterations, amendment to approved works) on land and buildings on JTC land, you must obtain JTC's consent for the proposed works. These proposed works must adhere to JTC's and other authorities' regulatory requirements and guidelines. You may also be required to obtain approval from other authorities when relevant. If QP's endorsement is required by the authorities for your project, your submission must be made by a QP.

Not all proposals require JTC's consent. For proposals that do not require JTC's consent, please see Annex A and remember to seek the necessary approvals as required by the relevant authorities (e.g. SCDF).

Lodgment/enterprise district lodgment submissions

Plan lodgment

The Plan Lodgment Scheme allows the development works to be lodged or registered with URA. It will be considered authorised without further need to apply to URA for planning permission if the works satisfy certain criteria.

Please refer to URA’s Plan Lodgement website on eligibility and lodgement criteria.

Enterprise district lodgment

Submissions within the Enterprise Districts (ED) have a different process. Please click here to see if your proposal falls within the locations of the EDs.

All proposals within the ED should be lodged unless:

The proposal does not meet the ED lodgment requirements. For more information on the ED lodgment requirements, please refer to the Enterprise District Lodgment Conditions.

The submission involves Factory Converted Dormitory (FCD) proposal. Please make a separate submission for the FCD under non-lodgment.

Note: For proposals within the EDs, please pre-consult your Customer Engagement Officer before submitting the proposal to JTC. To find out who your customer engagement officer is, please contact us.
