This Act makes provision with respect to development and spatial planning in Uganda. It establishes the Town and Country Planning Board. The Act shall apply to declared planning areas. In respect of every area declared to be a planning area, there shall be a planning committee or planning committees. The Board shall in respect of any area declared as a planning area, in consultation with the committee or committees, prepare an outline scheme in respect of the area. This scheme must be approved by the Minister. The Act empowers, in case any outline scheme or any detailed scheme has been brought into effect, the authority charged by any enactment relating with the compulsory acquisition of land to compulsory acquire land in respect of which the owner of the land has taken no reasonable steps to develop the land in accordance with the outline scheme or any detailed scheme. Matters to be included in the outline and detailed schemes are set out in Schedule 2 to this Act.
