Park View Villas Housing Scheme (River Edge) is declared illegal by LDA. So it is advised that buyers should avoid buying property in illegal Housing society which is not yet approved by LDA, otherwise they will be held responsible for their losses.
FOLLOWING a large number of public complaints against illegal housing societies, Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has initiated necessary legal action against 109 illegal housing schemes.
Officials said the LDA initiated this action under LDA Act-1975 and warned the general public to restrain from making any kind of transaction(s) in illegal housing schemes. They said except LDA no other Authority or Town Municipal Administration/Tehsil Municipal Administration or any local bodies or any other government agency is authorised to approve any private housing scheme/land sub-divisions in Lahore Division after 19.09.2013
They said sponsors of housing schemes and land sub-divisions were not allowed to develop the scheme without approval of Lahore Development Authority. Sponsors are not allowed to advertise any scheme or project prior to formal approval by Lahore Development Authority and after the approval of the scheme/land sub-division, the sponsors are not allowed to advertise the scheme without getting a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Lahore Development Authority.
