A development authority’s master plan sets out the intended land use across a whole area. Sector and pocket plans zoom in to show individual plots and roads. Reading them takes a few minutes and can change your view of a property.
What to look for
- Land-use colours. The legend shows residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, green and other zones. Check what is planned next to the property, not just what is there today.
- Road hierarchy. Plans usually mark road widths. A plot on a wider planned road may see more traffic — good for a shop, less so for a home.
- Green belts and high-tension lines. These are often shown as corridors and affect what can be built nearby.
- Plot numbering. On sector plans, match the plot or pocket number with the one in the seller’s documents.
Limits of a map
Plans are revised, and what exists on the ground can differ. Use a map as a starting point, then confirm the current position with the authority and your lawyer before any transaction.
