Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Do Duc Duy said that the essence of the draft resolution is to add a method of land access in the implementation of commercial housing projects. Previously, with the 2003 Land Law and the 2005 Housing Law, the implementation of commercial housing projects under two mechanisms of land use rights transfer was mandatory and voluntary.

The Minister said that according to current urban laws, project scale is usually from 20 hectares or more, and in cases where the area is smaller and does not ensure urban synchronization, the State will not reclaim land.

The Minister mentioned the difficulties occurring in localities, especially small localities, where the real estate market is not large, and there are not many urban projects larger than 20 hectares.

Therefore, the purpose of issuing this resolution is to remove difficulties and obstacles that occur in localities across the country, especially small provinces, with small-scale real estate markets, and not many urban projects of 20 hectares or more. The remaining projects do not have a method of accessing land, so they cannot be implemented.

Minister Do Duc Duy emphasized that it is necessary to implement nationwide to ensure fairness and overcome the mechanism of asking and giving.

Regarding the conditions for pilot implementation, Minister Do Duc Duy said that the draft Resolution has very specifically stipulated that projects must have 5 conditions: Must be consistent with land use planning and construction planning, urban planning, consistent with housing development programs; the land area for project implementation must be on the list approved by the Provincial People's Council...

For national defense and security land areas, there must be written approval from the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security .

Qualified projects will be allowed to change land use purposes for agricultural and non-agricultural land that is not residential land...

Regarding the issue of ensuring food security, maintaining the stability of 3.5 million hectares of rice land, and ensuring the average forest cover nationwide of 42%, Minister Do Duc Duy said that this issue has been implemented and strictly controlled right from the stage of making national and provincial land use plans, then urban planning and construction planning.

When planning, it is necessary to determine how much agricultural land is converted to non-agricultural purposes and how much residential land is implemented during the planning period to ensure the stable maintenance of rice-growing land area of ​​3.5 million hectares and the stable maintenance of forest cover of 42%.

Regarding national defense and security land, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment said that in the draft design, the planned direction is to remove national defense and security land, in accordance with the planning for housing development that has not been handed over to the locality, then priority is given to the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security to organize the implementation of commercial housing projects for sale to officers and soldiers of the armed forces.

Minister Do Duc Duy said that this is a regulation designed to facilitate the rapid conversion of defense and security land into residential land in accordance with planning, creating conditions to solve housing needs for officers and soldiers of the armed forces.

The resolution is designed to assign the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Public Security to select an investor to implement the project. Once an investor is selected, the investor will have to follow all the processes, procedures, and conditions similar to other projects.
