Change of Land Use (CLU) Compliance & Regulations
Change of Land Use (CLU) is a critical legal process that allows property owners to alter the designated use of their land—from agricultural to residential, commercial, industrial, or institutional purposes. This change must be approved by the concerned urban planning authorities to ensure alignment with master plans and zoning laws.
Whether you're a developer seeking to repurpose agricultural land for a commercial project or a homeowner applying for residential use, understanding the CLU process is essential. Legal expertise helps ensure that the necessary documentation, approvals, and conditions are met before proceeding with construction or development.

The CLU process involves compliance with various regulations, submission of detailed proposals, and obtaining permissions from municipal and planning bodies.
