The Central Building Plan Department (CPBD) in the National Environment Agency (NEA) is responsible in ensuring that environmental factors are incorporated into land use planning, development and building control of new developments and that the proposed developments are in compliance with environmental health and pollution control requirements. The various codes of practices and guidelines can be found on NEA’s website here. 

Land use and allocation in Singapore is governed by our Master Plan, which is reviewed every five years. The most current, Master Plan 2014, focuses on building townships for all ages that are green, healthy, connected, strong in community interaction and spirit, and to bring quality jobs closer to home. The land use plan can be found online here.
