This afternoon, June 20, within the framework of the 7th session of the 15th National Assembly, National Assembly deputies had a group discussion on the Draft Law on Urban and Rural Planning (QHDT&NT). Speaking at the discussion session, Deputy Head of the Quang Tri Provincial National Assembly Delegation Hoang Duc Thang made many important contributions, highlighting the necessity and specific proposed amendments to this draft law.
Delegate Hoang Duc Thang emphasized that, at present, the legal system on urban planning, construction planning and rural planning, although amended and supplemented, still has many overlaps and is not unified in a single law.

The adjustment of the 2009 Law on Urban Planning and the 2014 Law on Construction, along with a number of other related laws, is causing many difficulties in the application and implementation process. Therefore, the promulgation of a unified Law on Urban and Rural Planning is extremely necessary. This law not only helps clarify the content of urban and rural planning but also orients and regulates the relationship between types of planning in the national planning system.
Delegate Hoang Duc Thang proposed to amend Clause 5, Article 6 as follows: Exploit and rationally use natural resources; limit the use of special-use forests, protective forests, and rice-growing land and strictly comply with legal regulations on forest protection and rice-growing land protection; minimize the filling of rivers and lakes (natural) when planning urban and rural areas; effectively and economically use agricultural land for construction purposes to create resources for development, economic growth, ensure social security, national defense, security and sustainable development.
According to the current requirements of delegates, the protection of rice-growing land, special-use forests and protective forests is extremely necessary and in accordance with current legal regulations. Rice-growing land, special-use forests and protective forests are important natural resources and need to be strictly protected to ensure sustainable development. The use of this land must be limited to the maximum to protect the environment and maintain ecological balance.
The delegate also emphasized the need to clearly define the authority to appraise environmental protection content in Article 8. Clearly defining this authority will help enhance the responsibility of competent authorities and ensure transparency and efficiency in the process of planning and environmental protection.
In the section on responsibilities for organizing urban and rural planning in Clause 3, Article 16, delegate Hoang Duc Thang proposed adding the responsibility of the provincial People's Committee in organizing the preparation of tasks and general planning projects for new urban areas expected to become provincial towns and cities. The delegate explained that clearly defining the responsibilities of the provincial People's Committee will help the urbanization and urban development process take place smoothly and be more closely managed.
In Clause 5, Article 41, Authority to approve tasks and urban and rural planning. Delegate Thang also proposed amendments to the approval of the People's Council and the form of approval of the People's Council in the authority to approve tasks and urban and rural planning. Current regulations require reporting to the People's Council for approval before being considered and approved by competent state agencies. According to the delegate, this needs to be adjusted to ensure flexibility and efficiency in the process of planning and approval, while reducing unnecessary administrative procedures. In addition, the delegate suggested replacing the phrase "report" with the word "submit" to the People's Council, which would be more appropriate.
Concluding the discussion, delegate Hoang Duc Thang proposed adding a condensed detailed plan to the draft law to serve as a basis for implementation. Adding a condensed detailed plan will help the planning process become more flexible and faster, in line with practical development needs, saving time and resources, while ensuring the feasibility and effectiveness of the plan.
The Deputy Head of the Quang Tri Provincial Delegation of National Assembly Deputies affirmed that the promulgation of the Law on Urban Planning and Development is not only an important legal foundation but also an effective management tool, guiding the comprehensive development of the country, contributing to improving the quality of life of the people and promoting sustainable socio-economic development. These proposals aim to ensure that the Law on Urban Planning and Development will be an effective management tool, guiding the comprehensive development of the country, contributing to improving the quality of life of the people and promoting sustainable socio-economic development.
