Recommendations to remove problems in detailed planning of public investment projects
Lam Dong believes that it is mandatory to make detailed planning for public investment projects in areas that already have existing construction; For linear projects, detailed planning must be made before project planning and appraisal is very difficult.
The People's Committee of Lam Dong province has just proposed to the Government and the Ministry of Construction to consider removing problems with regulations on detailed planning of projects, economic and technical reports on investment in new construction projects according to capital use decisions. public investment in a shortened direction or only general planning of the site.
Specifically, for additional construction investment projects (intercropping) or upgrades and expansions that increase construction density or land use coefficient of projects that already have existing works, built on the area. Land that has been used for stable land use functions does not require detailed planning or a shortened general plan to be submitted for appraisal and approval, but the planning criteria in the project's general site drawing must be in accordance with planning criteria, architectural form of the area, and in accordance with construction regulations and standards applicable to the project.
According to the Provincial People's Committee, it is mandatory to make detailed planning for public investment projects (Articles 1 and 3 of Decree No. 35/2023/ND-CP), especially for construction investment projects. Construction and renovation of works (schools, hospitals, workplaces...) in areas with existing works; For linear projects, detailed planning must be made before project planning and appraisal is very difficult. The process of preparing and appraising detailed planning (usually done after the project's investment policy is issued) will affect the time it takes to set up, appraise and approve investment projects, prolonging the time. project implementation, affecting the disbursement progress of public investment capital.
In addition, some areas are subject to detailed planning before establishing investment projects. However, the area does not have an approved higher-level planning, so there is no basis for detailed planning, leading to insufficient basis for project appraisal and approval, affecting the progress of development. project declaration.
Second, the People's Committee of Lam Dong province believes that the process of organizing, collecting opinions, appraising, and approving detailed planning takes at least 45 days (of which, 39 days are for public consultation), leading to delays. long project implementation period.
Detailed planning cost estimates according to the shortened process (for investment projects of repair, renovation, expansion and general planning) currently do not have specific instructions, the organizing unit prepares them. Project planning temporarily applies Circular No. 20/2019/TT-BXD dated December 31, 12 of the Minister of Construction guiding the determination and management of construction and urban planning costs for implementation. currently, while waiting for specific instructions from competent state management agencies. This affects the planning organization and compliance with legal regulations on cost management of the planning organization. Besides, the ratio of detailed planning costs to the total investment of the project is quite high (about 2019%).
According to regulations, the state agency competent to inspect the acceptance work can invite organizations and individuals with appropriate capabilities to participate in the inspection of the acceptance work. However, currently there are no specific regulations or norms on how to calculate the costs that the investor must pay to the organizations and individuals invited to inspect the acceptance work. This causes confusion for relevant agencies.
From there, Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee proposed that relevant authorities supplement instructions, or issue specific norms on how to calculate costs for investors to pay to organizations and individuals approved by state agencies. Competent countries invite to inspect the acceptance work and facilitate the implementation process.
