INTRODUCTION

Land use planning means to build an equal and effective use of the land that
contribute towards development and protect the quality of towns, cities and
countryside and administer or promote developments that are high quality and
sustainable. Planning refers to the intention of the government or public to interfere
in the specific land and conduct property development process in order to achieve
the objectives of the development. The governments have to follow the law and
guidelines during the process of making development planning. The vital part of land
use planning is that the establishment of zoning which will divide the land into
several districts which are subject to several regulations each.
According to Tiesdell and Allmendinger (2005), land use planning means
planning all land, housing planning, transport and regeneration policies intended to
have a general and direct impact on the use and development of the land. So far in
Malaysia, land use planning has been implemented through national policies and
guidance, regional bodies and their strategic plans, local planning authorities and
environmental improvement scheme.
Development control is a mechanism used by the government to control and
determine the planning of the development of specific area. Development generally
controlled by town planning regulations. Development control means that it is a
process where the local administration manages the extent and nature of growth in
local areas. It was created to ensure the development implemented was according to
the approved plan. Development control is responsible for deciding planning
application for new developments and changes of use to buildings.
The importance of development control by the local authorities is that it gives
the local administrations a way to control the development in specific area according
with the Act and planning standards. It means that the individuals or development
companies cannot do the development unless it is permissible and approved by the
local authorities and the Act. It also means to protect the local interest from
unexpected effect or inefficient planning or planning that may cause negative impact.
Development control mechanism also created to ensure the rational and orderly
development of land to create sustainable environment.
In development control, there are several legislative standards enforced such
as Town and Country Planning Act 1976, Town and Country Planning Act 1976
3

(amendment) 1995, Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974, Local Government Act
1976 and local-by-laws that related to the development. Any development planning
needs to be controlled and reviewed in order to create a sustainable and good place
without having to waste of land use. The development control tools existed in order
to prevent mistakes in a development. The development control tools that used are
development plans, planning permission, zoning, density control and planning
standards.
In preparing development proposal plan, we need to consider the planning
permission set up by the local authorities. Under the Town and Country Planning Act
1976, when a person wishes to carry out any development, he has to obtain planning
permission from the Local Planning Authority. The planning permission approves the
applicant permission to carry out the development according to the approved plan.
The Local Planning Authority is entrusted with the power to regulate, control and plan
the development of all lands and buildings under its jurisdiction.
Also in development proposal plan, we need to ensure the proposed strata
building will not exceed the requirement set up by the local authorities, or we have to
face paying development charges to the local authorities. For example, the standard
car parking requirement for strata building are one car park for every 1000 sq.f. of a
development. If the developer fails to build enough car parks for a development, he
has to compensate it with development charge. Same goes with the change of land
use, where it is usually done from the use of land of low value to the higher value.
For example, in urban area, the residential land use is changed for commercial. As
result the value of the land enhanced.
The planning standards also are one of the criteria that we need to consider
when preparing proposal development report. The planning standards is a
government manual of criteria for determining the scale, location and site
requirements of various land uses and facilitates of specific development program.
Its importance is to ensure that every development project ongoing are comfortable,
successful and safe for the environment. It also will help to prevent conflict in land or
building use.
After fulfilling the entire requirement, the proposal development plans are
likely to be approved and accepted since it was planned according to what local
4

authorities wants. If it is rejected, the said proposal development plans needs to be

altered or revised according the requirement set up by the local authorities.

1.0 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND JUSTIFICATION

5

DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
The proposed development is a low cost apartment. The 6 floor apartment
which included four different types unit of houses in each floor. The main purpose of
this development is to provide affordable and securely guard houses for the family or
residents that does not permanently stay in that area. This is because there is an
increasing of houses demand from the people who are originally stayed in Kota
Bharu but have already migrates to other places, out of the state for their works.
Most of them will only go back to that area when theres holiday especially during
school holiday. Apartment is the most suitable type of house for them since the size
is not too big and easy to take care because their main need is only for short term
protection.
The outer design of the apartment using Islamic architecture design as stated
in the planning standard of strata building of Kelantan. The local authority of
Kelantan required there must Islamic design on the building.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT

The proposed site is located in an established area which gives an
advantage to the development as many basic facilities will be easily gained. Besides
that, the road to the site is already provided. This shows that the site is very suitable
for new development in the aspect of accessibility and has a good circulation road
system. Other than that, the land use of the proposed land is also does not differ with
the activity allowed on the land, which is for residential.

3.1 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

The subject property is surrounded with the development of land. There are schools
nearby and residential areas around the subject property. The subject property is
close with the main road, which make it easier for the occupants to do their daily
routine.
3.2 LOCATION
The subject property area is surrounded with lots of facilities and amnesties. The
nearest town would be Kubang Kerian town which are situated 15 km away from the
subject property. There is a school at the opposite of the proposed land development
and next to a bungalow. There is also an apartment at behind of the proposed land.
3.3 LANDSCAPE
The subject property topography is flat land, and suitable for the proposed strata
building. This is because flat land is suitable for any types of development.
Advantage will be obtained by developer as the developer will not require high cost
in the preparing process of the site and installation of facilities on the land.
3.4 CURRENT DEVELOPMENT
The land is a vacant land. There is no development on the land.
3.5 LAND USE ZONING
The land is located in the residential zoning. The land use of the proposed land is for
residential use.

4.0 NUMBER OF PROPERTY AND TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE

The proposed development is one block of apartment which consists of 6
storeys. The total unit of houses is 24 units. Each storey consists of 4 units of
houses. All of the units are different in size, shape and price. The units are divided
into 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4. The size of each unit as following:

0.4 89.05 square meter

Every floor is provided with a space (33.87 square meters) for the utility
purpose. The assumption price of the units is based on RM 270,000 per 1000 square
feet.
The space division in the each unit is different. There is only one kitchen in
every unit. Next, bathroom, in every unit have different number of bathroom
provided, apartment type 1 and type 3 are given two bathroom, apartment type 2
have three bathroom and apartment type 4 one bathroom. All of the units provided
with 3 bedrooms as to fulfil the minimum requirement in the planning standard.
The buildings upper level is for car parking. There are 10 car parks at upper
level floor and 9 motorcycle parks. The number of car parks at ground floor is 30
units and the motorcycle parks 11 units. The total units of car parks are 40 units and
the motorcycle parks is 20 units.
The proposed development includes the playground and mosque which are
both located at the ground level of the apartment. Other than that, a rubbish house is
provided and located at the corner area.
Generally, the area around the proposed land has already the basic facilities
since it is located in the residential area which is provided with efficient drainage
system, water supply, electrical supply and main road to access. This will not bring a
huge problem for the development later.

5.0 LAYOUT PLAN

5.1 Process in designing layout
12

Phase 1: Schematic Design

The goal of the schematic design (SD) is to clearly define design with a
comprehensive scope, budget and schedule before the project is submitted for
approval. In other words, it is about determining the general scope, preliminary
design, scale and relationships among the components of the project.
During this time, the architect reviews and creates a detailed program with the
client in order to define his needs and objectives, such as size, function and the
relationships between spaces, character and image. It is important during this stage
to arrive at a clearly defined, feasible concept while at the same time exploring the
most promising alternative design solutions.
Prior to the initial design concepts, architects begin by gathering and
analyzing information and performing all of the work necessary design a project.
For instance, the Architect prepares a series of rough plans, known as
schematics, which show the general arrangement of rooms and of the building on
the site. The next step utilizes the landscape consultants input where the architect
analyzes the site and determines the best placement of the project to ensure the
best placement to capture views and sunlight. During this stage, the architect usually
establishes the construction scope, budget and schedule.
Models and illustrations are prepared to help visualize the project as
necessary. The project then proceeds to the next phase whereby the architect
presents the design concepts to the owner who reviews it and then provides his own
input and vision for the projects before approving the schematic design. When an
agreement is reached between the architect and the owner, the basic layout or the
schematic design is finalized.

Phase 2: Design Development

13

Architects begin by creating basic concept diagrams and rough sketches.

Conceptual brainstorming and exploration define this portion of the design process.
The architect creates the initial design of building systems, but then expands
the approved schematic design studies to develop a more detailed drawing
illustrating other aspects of the proposed design, sometimes with help of consulting
engineers.
During this time, the architect determines the general layout, form and overall
appearance of both the project and the site. Sketches, drawings and study models
are prepared to help evaluate the ideas and concepts and set the final direction for
refining the design.
Once the size, layout and character of the project and site are refined, then
the architect begins to design feature elements such as stairs, cabinetry, fireplaces,
and built-in furniture. Drawings are prepared which describe some of the important
technical details.
Plans, elevations and sections through the house are developed. These
include floor plans that show all of the rooms in the correct sizes and shapes. These
outline specifications are a list of the major materials and room finishes.
The architect then verifies that the design complies with building codes and
works with engineers to design the structural, mechanical and electrical systems.
During this stage, the architect usually presents the design development and reviews
the project cost estimation with the owner so that the owner can provide his input.
When an agreement reached, this design phase is finalized. By the end of this
phase, a large portion of the design work is completed.

Phase 3: Construction Documentation

14

Once the owner has approved the design development phase, the architect
starts working on producing working drawings and on the specifications production
whereby the design is translated into detailed working drawings (commonly known
as blueprints) and the specifications, which the contractor will use to establish
actual construction costs and build the project.
These working drawings or blueprints and specifications are prepared in order
to define in detail all of the materials that are to be used in the project and where
they are to be located, as well as how they are to be installed. These drawings and
specifications become part of the construction contract.
Although this phase is primarily intended to work out the technical aspects of
the project, some design work also takes place. During this stage, plumbing fixtures,
light fixtures and finish materials such as tile, carpet and paint colors are selected
with the client. Finally, the owner reviews the project.

Phase 4: Bidding and Negotiation

During the bidding and negotiation phase, the architect may assist the
customer in obtaining competitive bids or bid evaluations, as well as invitations to bid
and instructions to bidders.
The architect creates and specifies the conditions of the contract and the form
of agreement between the owner and the contractor and furthermore. The architect
prepares and distributes sets of drawings and specification answers, contractor
questions, interprets the documents and prepares addendational revisions to the
original drawings or specifications. Once the bids are received, the architect
analyzes the results and prepares the contract between the customer and the
selected contractor.

Phase 5: Construction
15

Of course, the final phase of the process is the construction. During this
phase, the architect review the progress of the work and facilitates any changes that
may be required by visiting the construction site and observing the construction to
determine, in general, if the project is being built according to the plans and
specifications.
The architect answers questions, reviews submissions and shop drawings
(manufacturers' drawings of specific elements to be incorporated within the project),
and reviews monthly certificates of payment that are submitted by the contractor and
processes change orders.
The architect generally keeps the owner informed of the project's progress.
However, the contractor is solely responsible for construction methods, schedules,
techniques, and procedures. Final selections of finishes and fixtures are also made
here.
The architect, upon completion of this phase, thoroughly inspects the project
to ensure that it has been completed according to the plans. For detailed instruction
on Architecture Design Process see the section of this website about designing a
home.

CONCLUSION

16

We have discussed on our assignment about the strata building. From this
assignment, we can conclude that strata building are residential needs. We have
followed the planning standard that has been given by the Local Authority which is
Majlis Perbandaran Kota Bharu.
All the information state in this report has been done by having the guideline
that was approved. The assumption price that we stated is the assumption that we
get from the architect who had helped us in completing our task.
Hopefully this plan development of strata building on the lot 2130 at Panji,
Kota Bharu can be approved, so that people can use this apartment as the shelter to
them.
