Landowners and developers in Kiambu County have been hit with a sweeping overhaul of their land policies affecting all developments.
The county, through a notice in the local daily on Thursday, June 5, published stringent new restrictions under updated spatial planning rules that will govern every application for land development.
The county has declared that no development will be approved unless it aligns with the zoning and spatial framework established in the Integrated Strategic Urban Development Plans (ISUDPs) for 2020-2030. All applications will also have to meet conditions outlined in the Physical and Land Use Planning Act (PLUPA), 2019, the National Building Code, 2024, and a raft of new development control regulations.
