  • 9781783214235
Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Effective from 24 August 2021. Summary: This guidance note defines three distinct areas: the land ownership area, referring to the legal land ownership area; the site area, identified for planning application purposes; and the net development area, identifying the part of the site that will be occupied by buildings. Advice on the calculation of development density is also provided. It provides global best practice, but practitioners will need to be aware of any local jurisdictional requirements that may have superior authority. The publication of this guidance note remedies a historical lack of clarity and consistency in the way that land is measured and described for development purposes. It should be read in a cross-disciplinary context. The intention is that it will be applied across all built environment professions (including surveying, planning, architecture, engineering and related disciplines). Summary: Identifies five principal measurements: Land ownership area (LOA); Site area (SA); Net development area (NDA); Plot ration (PR) and Site coverage (SC).
