On Site Filing of Securing Locational Clearance for Building Permit (Complex)
Prior to the start of construction, all enterprises and private persons constructing a new building or expansion/renovation thereof are required to secure a Locational Clearance upon application for building permit to ensure that the building is allowed. This covers interior renovations, conversion of existing building occupancy classification, multiple-unit residential houses (row houses, townhouses, etc.), single detached residential houses, commercial buildings, warehouses, market buildings, and billboard structures.
