The Land Law does not stipulate that the combined use of land must be consistent with the general construction planning. Mr. Tan asked, can he be considered for approval of the multi-purpose combined land use plan as above?

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment answers this issue as follows:

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 the purposes of trade, services, animal husbandry, and medicinal plant cultivation; 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 multi-purpose land use plan are specified in Section V, Part VII, Appendix I issued together with Decree No. 151/2025/ND-CP dated June 12, 2025 of the Government regulating the division of authority of local authorities at 02 levels, decentralization and decentralization in the land sector.
