Town and country planning approval

[newto4x4]

On a piece of land I inherited.

[newto4x4]

Anyone?

[ssaroop]

what do you want to do with the land? is it in your name already, was the transfer done? I can provide legal proper advice for what you may need to do with the land.
Where is the land, what is the status of the land?

[janfar]

You need to have the deed in hand. Plans if there is already a building on it. What you need the T&C approval for would determine exactly what you need to have done. Walk with your 'hurry' money.

[ssaroop]

no bribes requires, that is against the law.

Against the law maybe, but it's disgusting and it happens openly and everyone turns a blind eye.
It not unusual for you documents to go missing in TC.

Change is needed, let it be with you and I, continuing the behavior will obviously not solve his but if we do one at a time and advise others to go the right way then we will have a good change for our future generations. I have been dealing with them for over 35 years, never paid a single bribe. Had issues yes, but dealt with them in an honest and straightforward way and they had to relent. simply put, "Be the change you want to see in our system"

As pois once said they test you for bribes and when u don't give in then they do their jobs, but the process takes long and they don't really care about project

[pugboy]

depends on area and use you want to do
eg to get a commercial use to run a bar will surely require some greasing

[OracleTnT]

Ok, it's a parcel of land about 3 lots. I had it serveyed and divided it into half.
I have the plans for both pieces. I have my house on one half and other is empty.
I have the deed for both in one deed on my name before I divided it. I currently do not have 2 deeds.
I want to morguage the empty piece to put up a building that I can rent out fo commercial purposes.
The land is in Cunupia.

To The TOP

call the TCPD office closest to you and schedule an appointment with one of the planners.
Walk with all documents you have relating to the property for the appointment and they will advise you FREE of charge.

[pmurs]

Bump. Any other experience on how long it takes to get all relevant approvals to build on residential land?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

These days town and country is like 6mths and counting.(office in Tunapuna is real failure).

[pmurs]

Agreed. I know most of them. Was the person acting? What Corporation was it?

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Sangre grande...I doh think he was acting...cuz he's been there a couple years now...boy everybody I know that build a house in this area had problems with this guy.

[GRIM]

the man just want money to pass the drawings...

[*KRONIK*]

the man just want money to pass the drawings...

He dont want money from any and everybody eh....

He does take from certain "business men" and convert TCPD approved open spaces for residential...

But most small men...he enjoys giving them a hard time and kicking them while they are down

[pugboy]

T&C is the easiest hoop to jump through, it's the local corporation where the racket starts

It's not only grande, Port of Spain corporation have real conflicts of interest
Certain honchos will ensure your plans get passed once you let them do some pj work

many of the Woodbrook side streets residential properties were magically turned into full commercial and incl alcohol license, not sure if they have enough parking on the premises

Property behind my house excavated for underground parking, caused slippage and damage to our property
City corp man in charge so happens to be the offender's engineer so go figure if we got any relief
Not hard to guess ethnicity of owner either if you in Woodbrook
